World Heritage: Venice VI - a photo on Flickriver

The Ca’ d’Oro (English: Golden House) or Palazzo Santa Sofia was built between 1428 and 1430 for the Contarini family - they provided Venice with eight Doges (the supreme authority) between 1043 and 1676.
Architects: Giovanni Bon and his son Bartolomeo Bon.
In 1894, the palace was acquired by its last owner, baron Giorgio Franchetti. Throughout his lifetime, he amassed an important art collection. In 1916, Franchetti bequeathed the Ca' d'Oro to the Italian State. It is now open to the public as a gallery: Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro.

Venice is a unique artistic achievement. The city is built on 118 small islands. Venice also has one of the highest concentrations of great monuments such as Piazza San Marco with the cathedral and Palazzo Ducale.
It was from Venice that Marco Polo (1254-1324) set out in search of China, Sumatra, India and Persia.
The occurrence of exceptional high waters poses nowadays a significant threat to the protection and integrity of Venice lagoon and historic settlements.
