About
Ca' Loredan Vendramin Calergi is a 15th-century Renaissance palace on the Grand Canal in the sestiere (quarter) of Cannaregio in Venice, Italy. It was commissioned by the patrician Loredan dynasty, namely Andrea Loredan, and paid for by Doge Leonardo Loredan. The Loredan family spent an enormous sum of more than 200 thousand ducats on its construction, which started in 1481 and ended in 1509. The architecturally distinguished building was the home of many prominent people through history and was the place where composer Richard Wagner died.
Today, it houses the Venice Casino (Casinò di Venezia) and the Wagner Museum (Museo Wagner).
