Your private tour of Doge’s Palace will give you a brilliant insight into Venetian history; the building was home to the Duke of Venice as well as providing a venue for the city’s courts, so it is one of the most historically important locations in the city. This is where the republic rose and fell; history was quite literally made right here, back when Venice was one the world’s major players.
Following its time as a political powerhouse, Doge’s Palace was turned into a prison. There are so many stories and secrets hidden in the walls of this beautifully crafted building!
