While visiting the Doge's Palace, in the heart of Venice, visitors step into the historic seat of power of the Republic of Venice. The tour begins in the grand inner courtyard and continues through the magnificent institutional halls, where the Doge and the city’s magistrates once met. Here visitors can admire gilded ceilings, extraordinarily rich decorations, and masterpieces by Venetian artists such as Tintoretto, who painted the monumental Paradise in the Hall of the Great Council. The visit then proceeds to the Doge’s apartments and the courtrooms, where the Republic’s sentences were pronounced. Crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs, visitors finally reach the ancient prisons, with their narrow corridors and stone cells, where many prisoners were held, including the famous Giacomo Casanova.
