All of Venice’s streets seem to run into Piazza San Marco – the business, political and religious heart of the city. With a sparkling standing as perhaps the finest square on the planet and seemingly one of Europe's essential tourist attractions, it unquestionably has a great deal to offer to visitors. Start your investigation with a visit through the pink-and-white marble Palazzo Ducale, which takes you through a succession of luxuriously beautified chambers and halls, organized more than four floors. In excess of a royal residence, the Gothic-Renaissance structure also was the seat of government, housing a Senate and Court facilities. Interestingly, the prison, just preposterous, was associated with the courts by means of the enclosed Bridge of Sighs, which took its name in the nineteenth century, when visiting northern European poets sincerely envisioned the prisoners' last breath of resignation after survey the outside world one final time. From the highest point of its ringer tower, transcending high over the square, one can appreciate sublime views across the city, the tidal pond and, sometimes, the peaks of the Italian Alpine reach not too far off.
