The Palazzo or Ca' Cappello Layard is a palace situated in the sestiere of San Polo of Venice, Italy, overlooking the Grand Canal at the confluence between this and the smaller Rio di San Polo and Rio delle Erbe. On the Grand canal, it is located between Palazzo Barbarigo della Terrazza and Palazzo Grimani Marcello. It is particularly noteworthy for having been the residence of Austen Henry Layard, discoverer of Niniveh. == Description == Located on the confluence of three canals, it is thus an unusual structure in that it presents three facades rather than the customary one.〔Marcello Brusegan, ''I Palazzi di Venezia'' Newton & Compton, Roma 2007, pag. 51.〕 * Façade on the Grand Canal. It is the widest of the facades, it is characterized by a sober aspect and a large number of lancet windows. The first piano nobile is enriched by a large rectangular three-mullioned window that opens onto a terrace next to Palazzo Grimani Marcello * Façade on the Rio delle Erbe. The least impressive of the facades * Façade on the Rio di San Polo. It is enriched by two balconied three-mullioned windows, with elaborate capitels, flanked by an elegant couple of lancet windows. Nineteenth century stone-carved patera of romansque taste enrich the façade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palazzo Cappello Layard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
