Must-See Attractions

The outside area

Start your visit in the grand and bright courtyard, rich with precious marble decorations. From here, go to the loggias on the first floor to admire the Gothic architecture and beautiful views of the courtyard below.

The Institutional Chambers

The first and second floors of the palace house state rooms where the administrative heart of the Venetian Republic used to beat. The Sala del Maggior Consiglio is home to Domenico Tintoretto’s Paradise and the Sala del Senato is home to Tintoretto’s Triumph of Venice.

Doge’s Apartments

The Doge’s Apartments are a look into the private life of Venice’s rulers. These rooms are less expensive than the state chambers, but they are filled with beautiful frescoes and period furniture.

The Armoury

The Armoury is a large collection of weapons and armor that shows how strong the Republic is. Venetian and Ottoman crossbows, lances, and metal armatures are among the interesting things on display.

The Prisons

You can’t visit the Palazzo Ducale without seeing the prisons. The Piombi (lead-roof cells) and the Pozzi (wells) were dark, damp, and scary places of detention. Giacomo Casanova’s escape from these cells is famous.
