The Doge's Palace is the most important example of Gothic architecture in Venice. Access the interior through the Porta del Frumento, overlooking the Venetian Lagoon. As the residence of the Doge, it served as a governmental seat, a court of justice, and a symbol of the Republic's power. Founded after 812 and rebuilt multiple times due to fires, it became a museum after Venice was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy and now houses the Civic Museum of the Doge's Palace.
The visit starts at the inner courtyard with its monumental facades and Gothic colonnade. Admire the Giant's Staircase, featuring Mars and Neptune by Jacopo Sansovino, before heading to the first floor. There, see the Sala del Maggior Consiglio where the Great Council met. Finally, explore the prisons via the Bridge of Sighs, offering a stunning view of the lagoon and the silhouette of Giudecca.
