About Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale)
Italy
Once the seat of Venetian political power, the stunning Doge’s Palace was home to the Doge (leader of Venice) and housed government offices, courtrooms and prisons. Today, it stands as a museum showcasing the city’s history, art and architecture. Step inside Venice’s political heart and explore grand halls, golden ceilings, and secret rooms. Cross the Bridge of Sighs and see the eerie prison cells where Casanova was once held. Marvel at masterpieces by Venetian artists like Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto and enjoy breathtaking views over St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal.
