Arrival in Piazza San Marco, the political and religious center of the city during the period of the Serenissima Republic. From here visit the Doge's Palace (private residence of the Doge, seat of the Government and of the Court of Justice). On the first floor were the offices, on the second four large rooms where the meetings of the members of some of the government institutions were held, as well as the private apartments of the Doge, while on the third there were the halls of the great assembly.

The original palace was built in the 9th century in the Byzantine style, but was then destroyed several times by fires, until in the 14th century it was decided to rebuild it in the Gothic style. The guide will give you curious information about the foundation of Venice, starting from the invasion of Attila who forced the Venetian population to seek refuge among the islands of the lagoon and arriving until 1797, when the last Doge Ludovico Manin handed over power to the French.
