What to expect

Venice's history in the Doge's Palace

I will tell you about the unique form of Venetian government, the history of the palace, its functions, and much more. The Doge's Palace will also surprise you with a collection of ancient weapons, and in the prison section adjacent to the main building, you will feel the horror of unfortunate prisoners who once walked across the Bridge of Sighs and cast a last glance at the Grand Canal.
