Palazzi a Venezia

Palaces and Manor Houses

Venice’s architectural history unfolds through these grand structures, ranging from the Venetian Gothic splendor of the Doge’s Palace and Ca' d'Oro to the Baroque elegance of Ca' Pesaro. These sites serve as more than just residences; they house significant collections of art, historical costumes, and Murano glassware. Notable highlights include the world’s oldest casino at Ca' Vendramin Calergi and Andrea Palladio's Renaissance masterpiece, Villa Foscari. From the canal-side facades of the Grand Canal to the hidden gardens of the Savorgnan Palace, these landmarks represent centuries of Venetian political power and artistic patronage.
