Among the most important buildings facing on Canal Grande is found one of the most celebrated Veneto-Byzantine buildings, the Fondaco dei Turchi, which now houses the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale.

To the right of the Canal is found Ca' Pesaro, housing the Galleria d'Arte Moderna and Museo Orientale. Shortly after, is located Ca' d'Oro, acclaimed as the most beautiful Gothic building in Venice, the Fabbriche Vecchie and Fabbriche Nuove, and tje Fondaco dei Tedeschi, once the most important trading house on the canal that now houses the main post office. Other important buildings are Palazzo Grimani, Palazzo Corner Spinelli, Ca' Foscari, Palazzo Grassi and Ca' Rezzonico, that houses the 18th century art collection. Canal Grande ends with Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Palazzo Corner, Ca' Grande and the magnificent Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute.
