Corderie
Aligned on the south side of the Arsenale, this was built in 1303 and then restructured between 1579 and 1585 after designs by Antonio Da Ponte. Once the place where the ropes and hawsers for the Venetian fleet were produced, the entire building is covered by a wooden tie-beam roof measuring some 316 metres in length, 21 metres in width and 9.7 metres in height.
The structure is divided into three aisles, with a loft running above the two side aisles at a height of seven metres. All in all, there are 6,400 square metres of exhibition space.

The Arsenale Corderie
The exhibition venues are the Italian Pavilion and the national pavilions at the Giardini, as well as the Corderie, the Artiglierie and other venues at the Arsenale. Countries that do not own a pavilion and institutions that organise collateral events are exhibited in other venues in Venice.
The next International Art Exhibition will take place in 2009.
