Ca’ d’Oro is located in Cannaregio district and overlooks the Grand Canal. Ca’ d’Oro (House of God) is the most famous Venetian Gothic palace. The façade has unmistakable reference of the eastern influence in Venetian architecture with its ogee windows, marble tracery, oriental pinnacles and quatrefoil patterns.

The house was commissioned in 1420 by Marino Contarini but in the course of centuries the house was remodeled by the succession of owners. The most barbaric restoration was done by the Russian ballerina Maria Taglioni. Thanks to Baron Franchetti, the house was restored to its former glory (1915). Ca’ d’Oro houses many works of art - St Sebastian by Andrea Mantegna (1506), The Annunciation and Death of the Virgin by Vittore Carpaccio (1504).
