Palazzo Ducale

Palazzo Ducale, or the Doge's Palace, is one of Venice's most notorious structures, which can be discovered both one next to the other with the popular St. Check's Basilica and associated with the Bridge of Sighs. Palazzo Ducale is a masterpiece of gothic design that housed the Doge's apartments, as well as the official seat of the administration, home to the city's courts and its correctional facility.

Features are the palace’s interior, the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, its monumental oil painting by Tintoretto, Sansovino's brilliant stairway of Scala d'Oro, and the numerous artworks by exceptional Italian craftsmen, for example, Giovanni Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio and Paolo Veronese.
