Discover Ca' Rezzonico

A three-storey marble palace standing directly in the Grand Canal, with its main door opening onto the water. The two upper floors carry round-arched windows set between paired columns and recessed well behind them, so the front reads as alternating bands of pale stone and deep shadow rather than as a flat wall. Inside, the rooms are furnished rather than emptied, and run in sequence across the canal front.

Ca' Rezzonico was designed in the 18th century baroque-rococo architectural style. The palace is set across three stories, with an opulent marble façade facing the Grand Canal and ornate Baroque decorations. Massari remained true to the original plans of Longhena, only adding a few of his own design elements to reflect architectural developments since the palazzo’s conception.
