The Ca’ d’Oro<\/strong>, overlooking the Grand Canal, represents\u2014together with the Doge’s Palace<\/strong>\u2014one of the highest expressions of Venetian Gothic architecture with Oriental influences<\/strong>. Its name derives from the ancient splendor of the fa\u00e7ade, originally enriched with gilding and polychrome decoration that made it shimmer in the light reflected from the water. <\/p>\n The palace features an asymmetrical fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> of extraordinary elegance, with marble tracery, open loggias, and a refined interplay between solids and voids, typical of 15th-century Venetian architecture. Over the centuries the building underwent numerous transformations, some of which altered its original appearance. <\/p>\n It was thanks to the intervention of the last owner, Giorgio Franchetti<\/strong>, that Ca’ d’Oro was restored and brought back as closely as possible to its former splendor. Upon his death, the palace was donated to the Italian State and in 1927<\/strong> became a public museum, now known as the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro. <\/p>\n The guided tour allows you to admire an artistic heritage of absolute importance:<\/p>\n Alongside the paintings, the museum preserves Gothic and Renaissance furnishings<\/strong>, Flemish tapestries from the 15th\u201316th centuries<\/strong>, and a precious collection of 15th-century medals<\/strong>, offering a comprehensive view of collecting tastes between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The palace also hosts high-profile temporary exhibitions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n A specialized guide allows you to:<\/p>\n We operate throughout Veneto.<\/p>\n Contact us now for a quote<\/strong> or book your guided tour of Ca’ d’Oro in Venice online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3964,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-visita-guidata":[61,86],"tag-visita-guidata":[63],"class_list":["post-3963","visita-guidata","type-visita-guidata","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-veneto","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-venice","tag-visita-guidata-monuments"],"acf":{"introduzione_visita":"Ca' d'Oro: guided tour<\/strong> of the picturesque Venetian palace, featuring Gothic architecture<\/strong> and great masterpieces, to discover secrets and details.","durata_visita_guidata":"90 minutes","luogo_visita_guidata":"Fondamenta Trapolin, 3932 \u2013 30121 Venice","fruizione":"Guided tour with a specialized guide explaining architecture, artworks, and historical context.","lingue":"Italian, English, French, Spanish","intro_categoria":"A guided tour of Ca' d'Oro reveals the elegance of Venetian Gothic and masterpieces by Carpaccio, Titian, and Mantegna.
