Genova Palazzo Ducale - The history The construction of the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa began during the flourishing period of the Republican history of the city. Genoa was gradually consolidating its economical power in the Mediterranean sea, with the defeat of the Republic of Pisa in the naval battle at Meloria (1284) and the defeat of the Republic of Venice, in the naval battle near the island of Curzola (1298). Three years later, after the exile of its owner, they acquired the neighbouring palazzo with its tower which belonged to the heirs of Alberto Fieschi, and started the construction of the first nucleus of the Palace, which would be named "Ducale" from 1339, when it became the seat of the first Genoese Doge, Simon Boccanegra. www.palazzoducale.genova.it /eng/naviga.asp?pagina=76   (814 words)

Palazzo Ducale and Ponte dei Sospiri (Ducal Palace and Bridge of Sighs) | Museum/Attraction Review | Venice | ... The pink-and-white marble Gothic-Renaissance Palazzo Ducale, residence and government center of the doges ("dukes," elected for life) who ruled Venice for more than 1,000 years, stands between the Basilica di San Marco and St. Mark's Basin. A symbol of prosperity and power, it was destroyed by a succession of fires and was built and rebuilt in 1340 and 1424 in its present form, escaping the Renaissance fever that was in the air at the time. The tours offer an unparalleled look into the world of Venetian politics over the centuries and are the only way to access the otherwise restricted quarters and hidden passageways of this enormous palace, such as the doges' private chambers and the torture chambers where prisoners were interrogated. www.frommers.com /destinations/venice/A25492.html   (1241 words)

Palazzo Ducale | Venice Sights Some architectural purists contend that the building is top-heavy, with dense upper floors resting awkwardly upon the graceful ground-floor colonnade, but it's hard to imagine the Piazza with any other design. Though a fortress for the doge existed on this spot in the early 9th century, the building you see today began in the 12th century, and like the basilica next door, was continually remodeled over the centuries. The palazzo's "secret itinerary" guided tour takes you to the doge's private apartments, through hidden passageways to the torture chambers, where prisoners were "interrogated," and into the rooftop piombi prison, named for the building's leaded roofing. www.fodors.com /miniguides/mgresults.cfm?destination=venice@163&cur_section=sig&property_id=66652   (862 words)
