Ca' d'Oro, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Italy.
The Ca' d'Oro exhibits a white marble facade with ornate stone carvings, intricate traceries, and quatrefoil windows facing the Grand Canal in Venice.
Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon constructed this palace in 1428 for the Contarini family, who provided eight Doges to the Venetian Republic between 1043 and 1676.
Baron Giorgio Franchetti transformed the palace into a museum in 1916, displaying his collection of Renaissance artworks, including Andrea Mantegna's San Sebastiano painting.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00, offering combined tickets with Palazzo Grimani and free entry for visitors under 18 and over 65.
The palace's name originates from the gold leaf decorations that once covered its exterior walls, creating a polychromatic effect on the Grand Canal facade.
