More info about travel to Venice: [ Ссылка ] The Doge's Palace — the ruling center and opulent, art-filled residence of Venice's duke — was built to show off the wealth of the republic and to remind visitors that Venice's mighty trading empire was number one. For four centuries (about 1150–1550), this was the most powerful half-acre in Europe. The evocative Bridge of Sighs connects the palace to the prison next door. #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #venice
