| This building seems to invite the passerby to enter rather than to ward him off. The Doge's Palace is the monumental representative of a delightful and charming variant of the late gothic. It's slightly exotic style reminds us of Venice's stategic position at the cross-roads of the west and the orient. Colorful, decorative, light and airy in appearance and never over-loaded, it's idealy suited to the lagoon city which floats between water and air. |
