Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti, Gothic palace in San Marco, Venice, Italy

The Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti rises along the Grand Canal next to the Accademia Bridge with its ornate window frames and Gothic architecture.

Built in 1565 by the Marcello family, the palace underwent major renovations in the 19th century when owned by Archduke Frederick Ferdinand of Austria.

The palace houses the Venetian Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts since 1999, organizing exhibitions and academic conferences throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the palace using water bus lines 1 and 2, stopping at Accademia station across the Grand Canal.

The building features a monumental staircase designed by architect Camillo Boito and maintains a private garden facing the Grand Canal.
