Western Europe: Venice, Italy

Italy #72

Ca' D'Oro

One of the more famous palaces along the Grand Canal, from the Gothic era, built in the 1400's. I think it's the prettiest building I saw in Venice. (This was taken on a very cloudy day, unfortunately, but that's when I saw it - it would be prettier in the sun.) See the water portico on the bottom floor, a sort of front entrance for people arriving in boats?
