Duration: 30 mins

2. Palazzo Ducale

Meet again the Turive assistant at 15.30 in calle larga de l'Ascension. The second part of the tour will start at 15.45 Discover the Doge's Palace, the historical seat of the most important political power of the Serene Venetian Republic. Once inside the Palace, you will visit the halls where the Duke (Doge) and his Council controlled the fate of the Serene Republic, whilst surrounded by hundreds of artistic masterpieces and discover the political history of Venice and its people. You will be able to admire the paintings realized by some of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance, amongst them, the world's largest oil painting by Tintoretto. Passing through the famous Bridge of Sighs, you will reach the new prisons. The bridge was given its name by the English poet Lord Byron, probably referring to the last breath of the prisoners, who had their last view of the lagoon and of Venice from the window of this bridge, before they were to be imprisioned.
