Ca' Pesaro, Baroque palace and art museum in Santa Croce, Venice, Italy
The four-story Ca' Pesaro presents white marble decorations on its facade, with massive stone figures supporting the balconies along the Grand Canal.
Construction of the palace started in 1659 under architect Baldassarre Longhena and concluded in 1710 through Antonio Gaspari's contribution after Longhena's death.
The International Gallery of Modern Art within Ca' Pesaro exhibits paintings by Gustav Klimt, Marc Chagall, and substantial collections of 19th and 20th-century artworks.
Visitors access the museum through the water entrance facing the Grand Canal or the land entrance, with exhibitions spread across multiple floors connected by wide staircases.
The palace basement contains original stone kitchens from the 1700s, complete with period cooking equipment and storage areas for supplies arriving by boat.

Venice offers many opportunities for photos. The city sits on over one hundred small islands connected by canals and bridges. The Grand Canal curves through the historic center, lined with palaces from different centuries. The Rialto Bridge spans the canal at its narrowest point and has served as a major crossing since the 16th century. St. Mark's Square forms the center of the city, with St. Mark's Basilica, the campanile, and Doge's Palace. The Bridge of Sighs connects the palace to the former prison cells. On the surrounding islands, you can find other landmarks: Burano displays brightly painted houses, Murano is known for its glass workshops, and Torcello preserves Byzantine mosaics from the early Middle Ages. The Cannaregio district in the north houses the Jewish Museum and quieter canals away from the main routes. The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute stands at the entrance to the Grand Canal and shapes the city's skyline.
