What To Expect

The Doge's Palace stands as Venice's paramount example of Gothic architecture. Accessible through the Porta del Frumento overlooking the Venetian Lagoon, it served as the Doge's residence and the epicenter of the city's political and administrative life. From governmental affairs to judicial proceedings, it symbolized the Republic of Venice's authority.
Your journey commences in the inner courtyard, embraced by monumental facades and a Gothic colonnade. Here, you'll encounter the captivating Giant's Staircase, a masterpiece by Jacopo Sansovino featuring Mars and Neptune. Ascend to the first floor to behold the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, where the Great Council convened to shape Venice's pivotal decisions. Conclude your exploration with a visit to the prisons via the iconic Bridge of Sighs, offering a striking panorama of the lagoon and the distant outline of Giudecca.
