Doge's Palace

The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) is a large Venetian Gothic palace on the lagoon in Venice that served as the residence of the Doge and as the main seat of the Republic's government. The complex contains ceremonial halls, government chambers, private apartments, a courtyard and connections to the city prison; since the 20th century it has been a public museum.

As it stood in 1510

The shape it held in its prime.

Broad two-storey façade of pink-and-white diamond-patterned marble above a ground-floor arcade of round-headed arches, topped by an open Gothic loggia with paired slender columns and quatrefoil tracery. The roof is low-pitched and lead-clad, punctuated by pinnacles and statuary. The waterfront elevation faces the St. Mark's Basin with a continuous arcade at water level and a larger ceremonial entrance (Porta della Carta) on the Piazzetta; scale is civic and monumental, surfaces largely stone and marble.
