Ca' Giustinian, Gothic palace on Grand Canal in Venice, Italy
Description
Ca' Giustinian is a Gothic palace on the Grand Canal in Venice displaying late Venetian Gothic architectural features. The facade is marked by large windows, ornate carved details, and elegant arches that characterize the entire building.
History
The palace was created in 1471 by merging two existing buildings, the larger Giustinian structure and the smaller Badoer-Tiepolo house. This combination formed a single grand residence that reflected Venice's architectural development during that period.

Practical
The palace sits between Hotel Bauer and Hotel Monaco and is easily visible from the Grand Canal. Inside, visitors find multiple exhibition spaces, a bookshop, and a cafe overlooking the water.
