Doge's Palace, Venice, Italy

The Doge's Palace or Palazzo Ducale on the right, begun 1340 and built in Venetian Gothic style, with gondolas moored, and behind, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, or National Library of St Mark's, built in Renaissance style in 1537-53 by Jacopo Sansovino, then extended by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1588, on the Piazzetta San Marco, Venice, Italy. The palace has 2 arcades with 14th and 15th century capitals and sculptures, and a loggia above with a decorative brickwork facade. It was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the former Republic of Venice, until the Napoleonic occupation in 1797, and is now a museum. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
