Full description The Palazzo Ducale has represented the seat of Venetian political power for centuries. In its splendid rooms, adorned with plaster and immersed in hundreds of masterpieces of painting, the Duke and his Council controlled the destiny of a thousand-year history republic. You will experience it alongside a guide who will lead you through the halls of power, immersing you in a unique historical context: the European Middle Ages and the centuries that followed.

Prepare to be amazed by the rich details of the gold staircase and the realism of the scenes depicted by numerous artists who adorned this building. You will relive the anguish of the prisoners crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs, and as you enter the Venetian prisons, renowned for hosting Giacomo Casanova. This unforgettable tour is not to be missed!

With the same ticket, you can explore other magnificent palaces around St. Mark’s Square, known as the Procuratie. Discover the Venetian way of life through paintings, libraries, coinage, and sculpture. Unlock the secrets of the Venice Empire with descriptions of the Arsenale, which produced the famous battleship Galea.
