Ca' Loredan

Ca' Loredan.

Ca' Loredan is a former palace of the Loredan family in Venice, northern Italy. It is located in the sestiere (district) of San Marco, and faces the Canal Grande, not far from the Ponte di Rialto. Together with the annexed Ca' Farsetti, it is currently home to the city's municipal council. This palace is distinct from the museum and Palazzo Loredan Cini also on the Grand canal.
