About Doge’s Palace
Doge’s Palace, locally known as Palazzo Ducale, is a popular tourist attraction in the city of Venice, Italy. It is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style and served as the residence for Dodge, the highest ranking authority in Venice. Palazzo Ducale was built around 1340. Additionally, it housed the political bodies of the state, including the Great Council and the Council of Ten. The palace had law courts, ballrooms and courtyards. Though the palace was established in 1340, there were numerous expansions until 1420 and later. It was converted to an art museum in 1923.
The public entrance to the Doge’s Palace is through the Porta del Frumento. Once inside, you can walk through the Doge’s Apartments, the courtyard, institutional chambers, prisons and armoury.
