Ca' Caotorta

Ca' Caotorta is a historic palace in Venice's Cannaregio sestiere, standing where the Rio Lustraferi meets the Rio de la Misericordia. The fifteenth-century building served as the residence of the Caotorta family until the family died out in 1791. The asymmetrical façade has three full stories plus a mezzanine, topped by a dentiled cornice and a large dormer window. You can admire the architectural variety of the window arrangement, which ranges from rectangular and square openings to round-arched windows and a projecting balcony with a triple window.
