Barco della Regina Cornaro, Renaissance barchessa in Altivole, Italy.

The Barco della Regina Cornaro features a long facade with five arches in its central loggia and preserved 16th-century frescoes on its walls.

Queen Caterina Cornaro commissioned architect Francesco Grazioli to construct this residence between 1491 and 1492 after ceding Cyprus to Venice.

The building contains frescoes depicting religious and mythological scenes, including Saint George and the Dragon and Apollo and Daphne narratives.

Located at Via Barco 51 in Altivole, the structure currently stands in deteriorating condition and remains closed to public access.

The complex originally spread across 100 hectares with gardens, hunting grounds, and water features centered around a sculpture of the goddess Amphitrite.
