Inside the Doge's Palace

The interior of the Doge's Palace has some of the most beautiful art and architecture in the world. The Doge was elected for a term, then replaced. One person could, however, serve multiple terms, and some of the Doge's became quite powerful. The largest room is the hall where the assembly met.
