Palazzo Ducale

Hence it became known by the many French people who only remembered this splendid palace as an apartment. The Doges (the highest political authority in all Venice) used to take up permanent residence in this part of the city. However, it was also the site where Venetian government would convene, hence the presence of a courtroom, the Senate and so on. And, for followers of the deeds of Casanova, don't miss the famous prison, which can be reached via the Bridge of Sighs.
