What you'll do

Palazzo Ducale
Piazza San Marco, 1, Venice, Italy
Nestled at the junction where the Canal Grande meets the southern expanse of San Marco square stands the Doge's Palace, a venerable symbol of Venice's republican past. Once the residence of the Doge—a paramount figure in the city-state's governance—the palace also housed pivotal political institutions. Despite enduring several fires over the centuries, each restoration imbued the palace with new architectural nuances from its respective era.
