The Doge Palace (Imperial Rooms)
Venice
Main Page

The Doge Palace is actually two connected buildings -
The Imperial Rooms of the Doge Residence and the Center of Government with its adjacent prison
Now both are state museums
Our journey begins up this ornate marble staircase

Paintings, maps, models, sculpure
and artifacts reflect the 800 years of
the Republic of Venice

Unfortunately, many items were carried off
by Napoleon during his conquest


 
Imagine the size of the original statue
