The Doge’s Palace is the symbol of the city. It housed the doge and the state magistracies for 800 years in the various stages of its development, and is the finest representation of Venetian society and its cultural, artistic, military, political and economic history.
All the historic periods are represented there in an extraordinary stratification of construction and ornamental elements: from the ancient original foundations to the magnificent Gothic form of the whole; from the enormous rooms of the city’s institutional life, superbly decorated by grand masters - including Titian, Veronese, Tiepolo and Tintoretto - to the precious rooms of the Doge’s Apartment; from the disquieting prisons to the resplendent loggias overlooking St Mark’s Square and the lagoon.
