A collection begun as early as the 14th century, the Armory at the Palazzo Ducale holds historically valuable items from several sources. At the time of its origin, it was stocked with weapons that could be used at a moment’s notice by the Palace’s guards, who would be joined by the arsenalotti, those belonging to the workforce from the shipyards of the Arsenale.

Happy Sunday ✨

Also known as the Sala dei Pregadi, the Sala del Senato served as the meeting chamber for the Senate, which was one of the oldest public institutions in Venice. The room is decorated with works by Tintoretto and Palma il Giovane.

Happy Friday ✨

Like all old structures, the Palazzo Ducale has undergone a series of renovations. In the 15th century, a fire destroyed part of the Doge’s Apartments, and its repair work introduced Renaissance elements into the building. More fires took place in the 16th century, and the Bridge of Sighs was added to the building to link it to the New Prison in 1600-1603.

Happy Wednesday 🤍

Hello!

My name is Jessica and I live in Madrid, Spain. I’m obsessed with dogs (this is important) and have a tendency to take way too many pictures when I travel (which doesn’t happen often enough). I like cold weather, morning light, and empty museums.
