Ca Cappello, Renaissance palace on Grand Canal in San Polo, Italy.

The palace displays three distinct facades, with the Grand Canal front featuring numerous lancet windows and a rectangular three-mullioned window on the first floor.

Built in the 16th century for Antonio Cappello, procurator of San Marco, the palace underwent substantial renovations during the Renaissance period.

During the late 19th century, English ambassador Austen Henry Layard stored his collection of Italian Renaissance paintings in this residence.

The Department of Asia and Mediterranean Africa Studies of Ca' Foscari University occupies the building, located 300 meters from San Toma vaporetto stop.

The palace stands at the intersection of three canals: the Grand Canal, Rio di San Polo, and Rio delle Erbe, creating an unusual triple-facade structure.
