Ca'd'Oro

This is fine Gothic palace which has gone through many renovations over the century, leaving an interesting building restored in the 20th century by a Baron Franchetti who is buried under the short bit of purple pillar below. It houses a fine if eclectic art collection. I very much liked this place, and while hardly obscure it is away from all the tour groups. Well worth finding.

















 Nice views from the palace too, especially at twilight







 Most famous artwork here is Mantegna's St Sebastian
