In one of the most beautiful cities on the face of the planet, the Doge’s Palace of Venice, Italy stands out as one of its most beautiful buildings. In addition to its beautiful architecture, which can be appreciated by nearly anyone, it also has a rich history, dating back to its role in the Venetian Republic.

Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale)

posted by quovademus on 2 May 2009 at 15:13

One of the most famous attractions in Venice is Doge's Place located in St. Mark's Square. The seat of the Venetian government is now one of the most impressive places to visit in Venice and is an absolute must stop for any tourist. It offers not only an amazing tour in richly appointed and opulent architecture, but an impressive showcase in Venetian art from masters such as Tintoretto. One downside is that the line to get in can be very long, but I found before I went that if you buy your ticket at the Correr Museum across the square, which in itself is a good stop too, you can bypass the line and go straight in. Whether in Venice for a day or a week, you must visit the Doge's Palace.

The Bridge Of Sighs

posted by NoleyNoley on 19 March 2009 at 14:37

The Bridge of Sighs is one of the numerous bridges that span the rivers that run through Venice. Besides being very spectacular architecturally, this bridge has an interesting history behind it. It's name originates from Lord Byron because this bridge used to connect the prison and interrogation room, known as the Doge's Palace. Prisoners would 'sigh' as they walked across the bridge, thus the name. Today it is not used to transport prisoners, but as a romantic place for lovers and tourists alike.

Doge's Palace - Secret Itineraries Tour

posted by Tanya on 16 September 2007 at 21:26

Guided Tour of the medieval palace which was created for the ruler of Venice in the days when it was an independent state. The Tour is informative, the group small, and includes an account of Casanova, the most famous prisoner in the Palace. The end of the tour includes walking over the 'Bridge of Sighs' and exploring the prison cells. This tour is extremely hot in Summer as some rooms are quite small and quite high up in the Palace.
