The Doge's Palace is located in the most extraordinary city of Italy – Venice. Since the Middle Ages the palace have served as the residence of the rulers of the Venetian Republic – the Doges. The palazzo is situated on St. Mark's Square. Today there is a museum in the palace and there is an entrance fee.

The first building, created on the ancient ruins in the form of a fortress, was destroyed at the end of the 10th century during a riot. The second palace burnt down in the 12th century during the fire, and the third was old, and not aesthetically beautiful, as it did not match the style and concept of the inhabitants of Venice about the greatness of the republic. Therefore, in the 14th century, the construction of a new palace, a masterpiece of European Gothic and Byzantine styles, was started.
