The Doge’s Palace - Secret Itineraries

The tour begins straight from the large and sunny courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale, through a narrow "door" that will lead you to the small and damp cells of the "Wells", the gloomy and inhospitable prisons.

Beyond the "Wells" the path continues going up a narrow staircase to the two small rooms that accommodated important officials of the institutional machine, the Ducal Notary and the Deputy to the Secret Council of Ten.

From here you can go and visit the other rooms such as the Office of the Great Chancellor, the large and beautiful Hall of the Secret Chancellery.
