Ca' Foscari, Gothic city palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.
The palace presents a symmetrical facade with pointed arches, ornate window frames, and decorative marble elements along the Grand Canal frontage.
Francesco Foscari, Venice's doge from 1423 to 1457, ordered architect Bartolomeo Bon to construct this residence on the site of a former Byzantine building.
The palace incorporates architectural features of International Gothic style, representing the wealth and influence of Venetian nobility during the 15th century.
Visitors can access guided tours of the palace's main floor, which includes the ceremonial rooms and offers direct views of the Grand Canal.
The palace maintains its original water entrance portal from 1453, allowing boats to dock directly at the marble steps leading into the building.
