Ca' Foscari (Venice)

Italy / Veneto / Venice / Calle Foscari, 3246
 hotel, palace, university

Ca'Foscari is for sure one of the architectural apogees in Venice, albeit the loss of much of its original splendor, especially during the 19th century. According to recent scholarship, it was built by the doge Francesco Foscari from 1453 on. In 1574, King Henry III of France was a guest in this palazzo. Together with the Palazzo Giustiniani at the left, the palace constitutes the largest gothic palace ensemble in the city and is situated in the prominent position of the so-called "volta di Canal". venedig.jc-r.net
