| dc.description | View along the north facade facing the Grand Canal, detail of a portal; The Punta della Dogana, or Customs Point, is a promontory at the entrance to St Mark's Basin, where the Grand Canal (to the right) meets the Giudecca Canal (to the left). The impressive buildings of the Dogana da Mare (Sea Customs Post) were built [altered] ca.1677-1680 by architect Giuseppe Benoni. The building's tower is crowned by two statues of Atlas holding up a bronze globe; a statue of Fortune stands on top of the globe and acts as a weathervane.
