The Ca 'Sagredo , also called Palazzo Morosini Sagredo , is a Venetian city ​​palace from the 14th / 15th centuries. Century in the Venetian sestiere Cannaregio . The Morosini family had the palace restructured, in particular from 1382 on the instructions of the then Doge Michele Morosini . The palace's first piano nobile comes from the transition period between the Byzantine and Gothic architectural styles. Therefore, one finds delicate columns on which stilted arches rest. The right wing is very broad. The portego loggia of the second piano nobile is unique in Venice because it is the only place where the four-passports are placed over arches in this form. On the side facing the Campo Santa Sofia there are monotonous round arched windows that were later designed in this way.

The Sagredo family bought the building from the Morosini in 1661. At the beginning of the 18th century, Gerardo Sagredo, procurator of San Marco and relative of Doge Niccolò Sagredo, bought the building . Under the direction of Andrea Tirali , the city palace was rebuilt again, and the side facing the Campo S. Sofia was unified. Tommaso Temanza also took part in the work . Actually, the main facade should have been redesigned, but this failed because of a protracted inheritance dispute between the branches of the family. The stucco interior also dates from the 18th century , as does the grand staircase (1718–1738), which was designed by Andrea Tirali, with the "Giant's Fall". In the final mezzanine was the casino, with its outstanding stucco work by Carpoforo Mezzati Tencalla .

After the death of Agostino, the last descendant of the family, numerous works of art were sold. During the construction of the Strada Nova , a rear facade was erected taking up the shapes of the Campo side. Under the supervision of the Sovrintendenza alle Belle Arti di Venezia , the facade was restored for seven years from 2006.

The homage to Venice by Giambattista Tiepolo is still in poor condition, the other works by the artist for the palace are scattered today. Tiepolo had already worked for Sagredo in the 1730s and had frescoed the chapel in San Francesco della Vigna, which Doge Niccolò Sagredo had acquired .
