Palazzo Ducal (Dogilor Palace) and Sighs Bridge
Visitors who arrived in Venice once descended the shore under the facade of this extraordinary palace.He could not have not been impressed, both by his dimension and by the fineness of his architecture. If they were received inside by Dogi, the impression would only be strengthened as they enter through Porta della Carta, a perfect example of the Venetian Gothic at his height, and climbed the monumental Scala and the Giganta Scale.Be received in what many consider to be the most beautiful room of the palace, the room of Collegio.You will see works of all the great Venetians, including Tintoretto, whose paradise is the largest oil painting in the world. It is not open in public tours, but it is included in private tours: a walk over the bridge of the sighs to the dark cells of Prigioni - the prisons from which Casanova made its famous escape.The best view - and the classic of the postcard - of the sighing bridge is from Ponte della Paglia, on Riva Schiavoni behind the Dogeilor Palace.
