The palace was rebuilt circa 1700 by the architect Giorgio Massari atop an earlier Gothic structure. The palace has a long balustraded terrace along the second floor. The palace had belonged to the Venetian noble Civran (or Ciuran) family since the 14th century, and even as late as of 1797, it still belonged to Senator Piero Civran and his brother Vicenzo Civran. [1]

In the 19th century, it was property of Isacco Pesaro Maurogonato, a former minister of Daniele Manin. It now is home to the Guardia di Finanza. [2]
