The Doge’s Palace has represented the seat of Venetian political power for centuries. In its splendid rooms, adorned and immersed in hundreds of masterpieces of painting, the Doge and his Council controlled the fate of a thousand-year-old republic. You will experience it with a guide who will show you the halls of power, immersing you in a very particular historical context: the European Middle Ages and the immediately following centuries.
You will be surprised by the rich details of the golden staircase and the realism of the scenes depicted by many artists who have decorated this building. You will relive the anguish of the prisoners crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs and entering the Venetian prisons, famous for hosting Giacomo Casanova.
You can also visit the other magnificent palaces around St. Mark’s Square, known as the Procuraties, with the same ticket. Discover the way of life of the Venetians, with paintings, libraries, coinage, and sculptures. You will be introduced to the secrets of the Venetian Empire, with a description of the Arsenal that produced the famous battleship Galea. You will visit the area built by Napoleon and the rooms restored for Empress Sissi of Austria.
