[2025 Mantua Attraction] Travel Guide for Ducale Palace (Updated Jun)

#cityplaybook #historicallandmarks In the heart of Piazza San Marco, the Palazzo Ducale rises like a dream of marble and lace—an architectural jewel that once housed the rulers of the Venetian Republic. For centuries, it was the seat of the Doge, the supreme authority of Venice, and the center of politics, justice, and intrigue. Step inside and you’re swept into a world of grandeur: gilded ceilings, monumental staircases, and chambers adorned by masterpieces from Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto. The Sala del Maggior Consiglio, one of the largest rooms in Europe without columns, radiates both civic pride and artistic brilliance. Beyond the public splendor, darker passages await. Cross the iconic Bridge of Sighs and descend into the palace’s shadowy prisons, where walls still echo the fate of Venice’s condemned—including the legendary Casanova. Palazzo Ducale isn’t just a monument—it’s the soul of Venice, told in stone, gold, and silence.

#August Travel Support Event If I were to choose the 'most Venetian building in Venice', I would choose the Doge's Palace without hesitation. It is the building where the Doge, the head of state, has lived and worked since the 9th century, and where all of Venice's legislative, administrative, and political affairs took place. It is a place you must visit if you go to Venice.

#Overseas Travel The Ducal Palace, Palazzo Ducale di Mantova, was built in the 13th century and has been the main residence of lords, marquises, dukes and other dignitaries for many centuries. This is a very important attraction in the center of Mantova, Italy. The interior is very gorgeously decorated, with a total area of ​​35,000 square meters! Highlights include: The Tapestry Room, the Mirror Gallery, the Queen's Park, the Labyrinth Hall, the Camera degli Sposi and more. My favorite is La Sala dei Fiumi, originally designed in 1579 and painted as a pergola with a decorative frame in 1773. The walls and vaulted ceilings of a room are decorated with patterns, and it feels like being in a loggia in a garden. It's so beautiful! 📍 Palazzo Ducale di Mantova Piazza Sordello, 40, 46100 Mantova #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#Overseas Travel Walking into the Mantova Ducal Palace, there is a very famous small room ~ Camera degli sposi💛 Here everyone looked up at the ceiling mural. There were beauties, peacocks, and little angels surrounding the sky. They all leaned over the railings and looked down. It seemed like the real thing was right above my head, very vivid and three-dimensional. This famous painting that makes people look up and stop in thought was painted by the famous Italian painter Andrea Mantegna 🇮🇹 in the 14th century. It used the Trompe l'oeil visual art painting technique to create a very vivid three-dimensional space, and is therefore famous all over the world. The murals on the walls of the room are also very lifelike and amazing! 📍 Palazzo Ducale-Camera degli sposi Piazza Sordello, 40, 46100 Mantova #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel
