DOGE'S PALACE, High Council

Your visit to the State Apartments continues with the Armory: there are four large rooms where you will see over 2,000 weapons, firearms, and parts of armor.

Among the various heirlooms, pay particular attention to the war armor of the French King Henry IV, which was donated to the city by the king himself, and was considered so important that it was placed in a recess specially designed by a famous architect.

Now pause the audio and go down to the first floor, into the Chamber of Quarantia Civil Vecchia.

As you can guess from the Gothic window with two arches and the remains of frescoes on the walls, you are now in one of the oldest halls of the palace, which however is decorated with paintings from the 17th century.

Now pause and go to the Hall of the High Council....
