The Doge’s Place

Piazza San Marco, Venice, 31024

The opulence of this palace, also known as the Palazzo Ducale, is awe-inspiring, with marble and gold sparkling at every turn. This was the home of the most powerful politicians, the Doges, in Italy, and they made sure everyone who entered knew it. This is where criminals (and anyone against the politicians) were tried, and when convicted, they were taken over the Bridge of Sighs to their jail cells.
