.Ca' d'Oro.

Ca' d'Oro


The Ca' d'Oro is the most celebrated palazzo on the Grand Canal; a fabulous Gothic palace which used to gleam with gold. Nowadays it houses a small art museum, but just as good as the art is the opportunity to admire the lovely courtyard and to stand on the loggia above the Grand Canal. 

If you're on a short break and don't feel you have time to dive into one of Venice's major museums, the Ca' d'Oro offers a good taste of the city's art and architecture, and doesn't take very long to look around.
