Doge’s Palace Venice: brief history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Doge’s Palace in Venice<\/strong>, located in the famous St. Mark’s Square<\/strong>, is a symbol of the power that the Republic of Venice wielded over sea and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient seat of government and residence of the doge<\/strong>, the building, despite the unified impression of the fronts, is a composite construction, continuously undergoing transformations that extended from the 9th to the 18th century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originating as a Byzantine fortress<\/strong>, it was restored and enlarged by Doge Sebastiano Ziani<\/strong> beginning in 1173.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the dawn of its construction it was damaged several times by fire<\/strong>, and there were numerous reconstructions starting in 1340<\/strong>, first in Gothic <\/strong>style and later according to the canons of the Renaissance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 18th century, following political upheavals due to the fall of the Venetian Republic, occupied by the French, and then the Austrian invasion, the palace became the seat of administrative offices and the new residence of the Marciana National Library<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the annexation of Venice to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, the building underwent substantial restoration and became state property in 1923<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1996 it has been part of the museum network of the Civic Museums of Venice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palace is famous for being a masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture <\/strong>– but there is no shortage of Renaissance, Mannerist, and Baroque additions. At first glance, the building will strike you with its architectural relationships, which appear as if reversed<\/strong>: the portico and loggias with their pierced arches<\/strong>-light and airy-support the massive wall mass of the upper floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I tell you about the events related to the ducal palace, take a good look at the building; you will notice that it consists of three bodies of buildings<\/strong> that are articulated around a vast courtyard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
