Venice - Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti

Close to the Ponte dell' Accademia in Venice, the façade of the Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti provides an excellent example of Late Gothic architecture. The building, which dates from 1565, was carefully restored in the 19th century. Of particular interest are the richly ornamented window frames. Part of the rear of the palace was enlarged in Neo-Gothic style. There is a small garden between the building and the Accademia bridge.

The staircase is considered one of the sights of Venice.
