Ca' d'Oro Palace in Venice: photos, reviews

About

In the Cannaregio district, on the main street of the Grand Canal, lies Ca' d'Oro - one of the most famous palaces, astonishing tourists with its magnificence. Although its official name is Palazzo Santa Sofia, locals often call it the "Golden House." The reason is that gold leaf was used for the facade's decoration. For painting the building and the rooms, very expensive pigments were chosen, such as ultramarine (bright blue) and vermilion (bright red). Exquisite marble lace adorns the arches of the building. And because of the Gothic pointed arches, loggias, and small balconies, the construction appears fairy-tale-like and surreal. The palace is considered the most beautiful building in the Venetian Gothic style. Currently, the building houses the Franchetti Gallery, which displays a collection of Medieval paintings and sculptures. Here, works by Van Dyck, Tintoretto, and Francesco Guardi are exhibited.
