Ca' Sagredo, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy
Ca' Sagredo is a palace featuring Byzantine and Gothic architecture along the Grand Canal in Venice's Cannaregio district. Its facade showcases a six-light loggia with delicate columns and quadrifoil windows that define the Venetian patrician style.
The building was originally constructed by the Morosini family and served as their residence for generations. In 1661, Nicolò Sagredo purchased the property, and his later election as Doge of Venice gave the palace its enduring name.
The interior holds frescoes by Pietro Longhi depicting the Fall of Giants, along with stucco decorations created by Abbondio Stazio and Carpoforo Mezzati Tencalla. These artworks shape the visual character of the rooms you walk through today.
The building now operates as a hotel with reception areas housed in the former ground-floor warehouses that once handled maritime trade. Visitors can explore the public spaces and artworks inside while taking advantage of hotel services and facilities.
The mathematician Gianfrancesco Sagredo held conversations with Galileo Galilei here during the early 1600s. These intellectual exchanges took place within the palace rooms that visitors walk through today.
