Discover the iconic royal palace and Venetian prison

The Doge’s Palace, or Palazzo Ducale, is the building from which the most important magistrates once ruled Venice. It is also where they tortured their enemies! The building is a grand example of Venetian Gothic architecture and the interior features lavish decor and art by masters like Titian. All of which was created to cover up the darker side of Venice. It’s not just an incredible palace, it is also linked to prison by the famous Bridge of Sighs.
