The remains of the casino Tron

Behind the solemn façade of Ca’ Tron, at the end of a blind courtyard leading nowhere, stands a stone portal crowned by an enormous grotesque mask and a wrought-iron gate. Beyond the bars you glimpse flowerbeds and a Gothic wellhead: one of the rare Italian-style gardens left on the Grand Canal — and all that remains of the casino Tron.
