Venice - Doge’s Palace

The Doge’s Palace, (Palazzo Ducale) with its amazing Gothic façade and its wonderfully decorative 15th century rooms was once the residence of the doges - the magistrates who ruled the republic. Used as a showplace for the artistry, architecture and craftsmanship of the day, the palace is exquisitely ornate and beautiful and houses works of art by famous masters such as Tintoretto and Veronese. Take a walk from the Palace over the Bridge of Sighs crossed by countless despairing prisoners on their way to the dungeons. The Doge’s Palace is an essential part of Venice’s cultural heritage.
