Venice's glory can not be separated from the 41st Governor Dandolo. When he became governor, he was 86 years old, blind and hard of hearing, and had a few days to live. During the Fourth Crusade, which began in October 1204, he offered the Crusaders maritime and logistical support at a price of 8.5W Marko gold coins. Originally the sword of the Crusade meant that Jerusalem was going to expel pagans and liberate the Holy Land. As a result, Constantinople, the headquarters of the same Orthodox Church, was looted. Dandoro not only took back the labor fees, but also partitioned three-eighths of the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. He established the monopoly position of trade and Commerce in the Eastern Mediterranean and became the biggest winner. In ancient Rome, such achievements were to be triumphant. But Dandoro, 98, did not see the cheering crowd dying in Constantinople and buried in St. Sophia's Cathedral. His son, Tonil, has always been Dandoro's deputy, helping the elderly governor to handle government affairs, both in peacetime and in wartime. So the people called on him to become governor, and even hoped that he would simply start a Dandoro dynasty. Tony refused the people's request and went out to do business. Later, there was a war between Venice and Genoa, and Tony died in a fierce battle. More than 800 years ago, Laozi was a hero.

    Highly recommended! It was a hot day and it was worth skipping the long queue. You can visit in the morning if you can, because the palace has no air conditioning, absolutely visual shock! The photos don’t show it well.

    On the left side of Venice's St. Mark's Square, next to the church. The place where the governor works is magnificently decorated, with many paintings and statues on the dome. Particularly interested is the prison at that time, there is a large prison, all visited one by one. The prison is connected to the sigh bridge, walking in the sigh bridge, and it is also the origin of the sigh bridge. However, I personally feel that the price is not high. The sculptures and buildings in Italy are similar. There is no need to buy such expensive tickets and take the time to enjoy the Governor's Mansion.

    In fact, the exterior walls of the palace are visible only on two sides, about 75 meters long, facing St. Mark's Square on one side and Lugu Lake on the other. Although the styles are the same on both sides, it is quite different to observe the pattern and decoration of the facade up closethe statue facing the lake is religiously themes, such as Noah, Archangel Michael and Raphael; The statue facing the bell tower is the theme of Roman mythology, such as Mars, Mobil, Zeus facing the square, in a row of white columns, there are two red particularly conspicuous, the position marked by the Venetian Republic era for the death penalty.
