Palazzo Ducale Reviews
 Dec 30, 2006
Il Palazzo Ducale è uno dei tanti simboli della città di Venezia. Fu eretto presumibilmente nei secoli X e XI sulla base di un nucleo centrale fortificato costituito da un corpo centrale e da torri angolari; attorno a tale nucleo si sviluppò quello che è uno dei capolavori del gotico veneziano. La prima grande ristrutturazione, che trasformò la fortezza originaria in un elegante palazzo privo di fortificazioni, fu operata nel XII secolo dal Doge Sebastiano Ziani. Un nuovo ampliamento fu realizzato alla fine del ‘200.

Great museum - Palazzo Ducale Jun 17, 2006
Palazzo Ducale used to be the residence of the Douche (Doge) and Magistrates of Venice, but also a jail.
Its architecture is gothic. The main building and the gardens are beautiful. You will not only visit it outside. You are allowed to go into the building, including the different floors and also the Ponte del Sospiri, where the prisoners gave their last sigh. But the architecture is not the only art you will find here. On its walls you will find paintings from Tizianno, Veronese, Tintoretto, and other masters. If you are interested in Italian Painters, visit this museum. Part of the Backpacking in Europe solo but not lonely :) travel blog

Palazzo Ducale and the "Bridge of Sighs"
Doge's Palace was once home to the rulers of Venice. And like most, possibly all, buildings in Italy you can't take pictures inside. So many of my picutre throughout this blog are outside only. But really… Grand Canal |
