The Zecca is a sixteenth-century Renaissance mint in the San Marco district of Venice, Italy, built between 1536 and 1548 to a design by Jacopo Sansovino to replace an earlier mint. Its heavily rusticated stone structure originally had only two floors and was planned to guard the Republic's silver and gold against fire and theft. Giorgio Vasari judged it the finest, richest and strongest of Sansovino's buildings. Coin production ceased in 1852, and since 1904 the building has housed the main part of the Marciana Library.
