In Venice of course lots of beautiful buildings and mysterious architectural structures, but the Palace I was just struck by its magnificence and style. I myself like I imagined it when I read about Venice. Liked to paint in the imagination of the picture read about the decoration of the rooms. Juliette, Benzoni in one of his novels wrote:
Luxury rooms still impress with flawless splendor. On the top of the walls of the hall of the Great Council – the portraits of the Doges, draped in gold-woven robes with ermine trim of the Doges, on whose heads emblazoned korno – polukarova, poluchaet – a sign of conviction and power.
the Palace is an amazing beauty situated in the square of St. Mark. The construction of the first version of the design of the Palace of Venetian architects Filippo Calendario and Pietro Baseio started at the beginning of the fifteenth century, however, the fire of 1577 severely damaged the building, and its further reconstruction was carried out by Antonio de Ponte (known for his work, the Rialto bridge across the Grand canal).
the Doge's Palace unique from an architectural point of view, as it combines Moorish, Gothic and Renaissance style. Here was the residence of the Doges of the Venetian Republic, often met Council, some years worked for the Supreme court, have earned their "dark deeds" and the secret police.
the Palace Itself consists of three tiers which flow into each other. But, and on this balcony was a tribune for the Doge, who often went to the people during the holidays. It was here that in 1865 the announcement was made on the accession of the Republic of Venice to the Italian Kingdom.
If you walk through the Palace slowly, over the day you hardly have time to see all the rooms, structures, sculptures, which show numerous tourists.
And how many are various statues of famous philosophers, a doji was fond of luxury and their apartments are often decorated with similar artwork. The corners in the halls are the archangels, who symbolized war, trade and peace. And if you look at the ceiling, eyes not again, the splendour, few places you can meet.
