Town hall wedding in Venice: your civil wedding at Palazzo Cavalli

This beautiful Renaissance palace was built in the 16th century, even if the one we have the pleasure to admire today is the result of several reconstructions and renovations,  which left his splendor and magnificence shine until today.

The building takes its name from the Cavalli family who lived there; it was also the residence of the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper.

Palazzo Cavalli is situated in one of the most picturesque locations in Venice. In fact, from the terraces on the facade, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Rialto Bridge.

Inside the building, there's a room hosting the famous painting "The Golden Wedding”, dating from 1909, made by the Venetian painter Luigi Nono.
