class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Doge&#8217;s Palace<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The title &#8220;doge&#8221; was the title of the senior-most elected official of Venice (and Genoa) and was the equivalent of a Duke without being a Duke. &nbsp;A Palace was built on the site of the current Palace in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> Century but was destroyed by fire in the 10<sup>th<\/sup> century. &nbsp;Over the centuries, it was home to the Great Council, the Council of Ten and the Senate who all served the Doge.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 12th century there were holding cells within the Doge&#8217;s Palace but during the 13<sup>th<\/sup>, 14<sup>th<\/sup> and 15th centuries layouts were changed to increase the number of cells.&nbsp; Due to the dark, damp and isolated qualities they were known as the Pozzi (the Wells)&nbsp; In 1591 more cells were built and due to their position, directly under the lead roof, they were known as Piombi. &nbsp;The cells were covered in lapped larch and basic, with little light or air.<\/p>\n<p>The current building was linked to the prison on the other side of the Canal by The Bridge of Sighs, a two way tunnelled bridge, linking the magistrate\u2019s courts in the Palace to the Prison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The famous name of the bridge dates from the &#8220;Romantic period&#8221; and was supposed to refer to the sighs of prisoners who, passing from the courtroom to the cell in which they would serve their sentence, took a last look at freedom as they glimpsed the lagoon saying \u201cI will never again see my beautiful Venice\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The internal courtyard is surrounded by the palace and St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, which used to be the Doge\u2019s chapel, in the centre of the courtyard stand two well-heads from the mid-16th century.<\/p>\n<p>In 1485, the Great Council decided that a ceremonial staircase should be built within the courtyard, called the Giants\u2019 Staircase. The design included alternate bands of Istrian stone and red Verona marble to create one single monumental approach from the Piazza right into the heart of the building. Since 1567, the Giants\u2019 Staircase is guarded by two colossal statues of Mars and Neptune, which represents Venice\u2019s power by land and by sea, and therefore the reason for its name. Members of the Senate gathered before government meetings in the Senator\u2019s Courtyard, to the right of the Giants\u2019 Staircase.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1
