The regular tour of the Doge’s Palace (the Palazzo Ducale) in Venice is extraordinary enough. The building is a quite remarkable example of Gothic civic architecture. Every stone, passageway and artwork evokes the power that the Serene Republic wielded over a millennium of unparalleled imperial power. But you might want to dig even deeper – to explore the hidden corners of the palace on the Itinerari Segreti del Palazzo Ducale (the secret tour of the Doge’s Palace).Get there early to book a ticket on the special touryou get to see areas and things most people dont know about! You also get to to the normal tour / walk around.On the tour you will get to see where Casanova was in-prisoned and where he made his escape from, the hidden ways behind the scenes ( and sometimes on top of them ! ), torture rooms, Your tour is likely to end at the Ponte dei Sospiri or Bridge of Sighs … the final walk of prisoners across the water to the ‘new prison’.

    Highly recommended! It was a hot day and it was worth skipping the long queue. You can visit in the morning if you can, because the palace has no air conditioning, absolutely visual shock! The photos don’t show it well.

    On the left side of Venice's St. Mark's Square, next to the church. The place where the governor works is magnificently decorated, with many paintings and statues on the dome. Particularly interested is the prison at that time, there is a large prison, all visited one by one. The prison is connected to the sigh bridge, walking in the sigh bridge, and it is also the origin of the sigh bridge. However, I personally feel that the price is not high. The sculptures and buildings in Italy are similar. There is no need to buy such expensive tickets and take the time to enjoy the Governor's Mansion.

    In fact, the exterior walls of the palace are visible only on two sides, about 75 meters long, facing St. Mark's Square on one side and Lugu Lake on the other. Although the styles are the same on both sides, it is quite different to observe the pattern and decoration of the facade up closethe statue facing the lake is religiously themes, such as Noah, Archangel Michael and Raphael; The statue facing the bell tower is the theme of Roman mythology, such as Mars, Mobil, Zeus facing the square, in a row of white columns, there are two red particularly conspicuous, the position marked by the Venetian Republic era for the death penalty.

    Governor's Office (19). When I first entered the Governor's Palace, I felt that it was only a combination of Chinese and Western art models. When I was trying to assess whether it was worth visiting, I was first surprised by the exquisite marble carvings on the top of the stone ladder, which was just a staircase leading to the second floor of the Governor's Palace. The walls and tops of each room in the Governor's Palace are decorated with beautiful decorations, which are no less exquisite than the palace. This government office building in the Republic of Venice, with its luxurious furnishings and expensive decorative materials, is comparable to priceless works of art.
