Hi, I'm James, your personal guide. Together with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world.
Today I'll accompany you through the Doge's Palace, which is one of the strongest symbols of Venice!
As you can see, it has a perfect position between the waters of St. Mark's basin and the monumental area between the Piazzetta and the Pier. For the over one thousand years of the Republic of Venice's existence, the Doge's Palace was the center of power: it was the doge's home, the government's center, and the hall of justice. You'll find few buildings in the world that can rival this level of art, architecture, and glitz.
I suggest admiring both sides of its exterior first before visiting its interior. It will be like plunging into the history of Venice, the queen of the seas!...
