The Original Doges Palace Tour

The Power and the Glory-Splendor Meets Terror

Walk on to the setting of one of the world’s great mercantile ‘dynasties’.  Experience the pomp and pageantry of the magnificent Doges whose wizened exteriors masked a combined steel will to control international market forces. The Doges palace embodies one of the grandest propaganda campaigns ever seen in history.  Its superb gothic facades also masked a sinister style of government developed to carefully drive the commercial interests so important to Venice’s history. Learn about the Doges bizarrely cloistered lifestyles which were strictly interwoven into the very fabric of Venice and followed fascinating archaic rituals.  Hear how the Doges orchestrated one of the greatest tragedies for the history of western culture and then profited from it. Follow in the footsteps of the  condemned as we walk though history and see their poignant tracings engraved into the palace prison walls…
