Ca ‘Pesaro – Pesaro family palace

One of the most interesting and simultaneously lesser-known buildings is the Ca ‘Pesaro, which is a palace belonging to the family of Pesaro. Its designer was Baldessarre Longhena. At the time of his death in 1682, the palace had only one floor. For the next 28 years continued construction, which was finally completed in 1710. Today, the building is regarded as one of the largest in whole Venice. For over 100 years it houses the Museum of Contemporary Art.
