Venice Pass 1 Days

Doge's Palace is a symbol of the city and a must on your visit to Venice. It is part of the St. Mark's Museums complex, along with the Correr Museum, the National Archaeological Museum and the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. The Doge's Palace stands in St. Mark's Square and will strike you in its beauty right from the outside, festooned with Gothic-style facades. The gold-inlaid ceilings and frescoes by artists like Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, and Tiepolo will make your visit unforgettable. The Doge's Palace was the former seat of the Doge and the magistracies of Venice and also a witness place of the most important moments in the history of the Venetian Republic, from its beginnings to its end. This is a must-visit to get an in-depth understanding of the soul and history of Venice. The Doge's Palace can be visited daily from 12 a.m. to 7 p.m.; the last entrance is at 6 p.m.

The Correr Museum is located in St Mark's Square and is part of the St Mark's Museum complex like the Doge's Palace, the National Archaeological Museum and the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. Not to be missed during your visit to Venice. The Correr Museum was created from the collections that the Venetian notable and collector Toedoro Correr left to the city of Venice. The building is located right in front of St Mark's Basilica (where the ancient church of San Giminiano previously stood) and was erected during the Napoleonic era (1806-1814). The neoclassical style, typical of that era, can also be found in the frescoes and decorations in the entire rooms of the museum. The museum boasts several collections tracing the history of Venice. Not to be missed is the collection of works by the famous artist Canova. The Correr Museum can be visited daily from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm (last admission at 5.00 pm).

<p>The National Archaeological Museum is located in St. Mark's Square and is part of the St. Mark's Museums complex along with the Doge's Palace, the Correr Museum, and the Monumental Rooms of the Marciana National Library. The National Archaeological Museum is one of the most famous and oldest public museums in Europe. The initial core of the collection, in fact, dates back to 1523 and 1587, following donations by members of the notable Venetian Grimani family (Domenico Grimani first and Giovanni Grimani later). Initially the collection was housed in the Antisala of the S. Mark’s Library. Following further donations between the 17th and 18th centuries, it was temporarily transferred to the Doge's Palace in 1812 and then moved to its current location on the second floor of the Procuratie Nuove. In the National Archaeological Museum of Venice you can admire various examples of ancient and classical art: Greek sculptures dating from the 5th-4th centuries B.C., portraits from the Roman period, reliefs, inscriptions, ceramics and gems. The National Archaeological Museum is open every day from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. (last entry 5.00 p.m.). </p>

<p>The Monumental Rooms of the Marciana National Library stand in the heart of Venice, in St. Mark's Square. They are part of the Museums of St. Mark's Square complex, like the Doge's Palace, the Correr Museum and the National Archaeological Museum. The National Library building, in addition to the Library, houses the Fabbrica della Zecca, where the reading rooms are located. The National Library was designed and erected by Jacopo Sansovino, a Venetian architect and sculptor, between 1537 and 1560 at the behest of the procurators of St. Mark's. There was a need for a place to store the ancient Greek and Latin codices donated to the Republic of Venice in 1468 by Cardinal Bessarione. Later other codices and manuscripts flowed into the collection. Now they are still housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, including the Grimani Breviary of the 500s, Fra Muro's Mappamondo, and Aldo Manuzio's ancient editions. The Monumental Rooms house portraits by Tintoretto and Veronese (21 tondi depicting faces of Philosophers) and frescoes by Tiziano (like the famous La Sapienza in the Vestibule, on the second floor). The Monumental Rooms of the Marciana National Library can be visited every day from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 pm (last entry is 5.00 p.m). It is closed on 25th December and 1st January.</p>

Ca' Rezzonico is one of the most fascinating and iconic palaces in Venice. It is located in the Dorsoduro sestiere (neighborhood) overlooking the Grand Canal. It houses the Museo del Settecento Veneziano, which is part of the network of Venetian Civic Museums. In the museum, you can find a vast collection of paintings dating back to the 18th century and tracing the history and grandeur of the Serenissima. The museum is also worth a visit for the beauty of the palace itself; its history is long, troubled and fascinating. In fact, the palace was built starting in 1649 on the design of architect Baldassarre Longhena, a great master of Venetian Baroque, commissioned by the Bon family. In 1682 the architect's death and the financial problems of the commissioners led to the suspension of work. The Ca’ Rezzonico palace project thus remained unfinished for a long time. In 1751 the Lombard-born merchant and banker Giambattista Rezzonico purchased the property and entrusted its completion to Giorgio Massari, who completed the project in just 5 years. 50 years of feasting and splendor followed. Giambattista's younger brother, Carlo Rezzonico, bishop of Padua, was elected pope with the name Clement XIII in 1758, and Ca' Rezzonico was the site of lavish celebration for the new title. In 1810, however, the decline of the Rezzonico family began and along with it that of the palace. Ca’ Rezzonico was progressively and inexorably stripped and its riches were dispersed and dismembered, amid divisions of heirs and outright robberies. During the 19th century, the palace was sold to various buyers including the English painter Robert Barret Browning and then his father, the writer Robert Browning. Later the palace was bought by Count Lionello Hirschell de Minerbi who, after a long negotiation, gave it to the City of Venice in 1935. Ca’ Rezzonico is open from 10.00 a.m to 6.00 p.m. (the last entry is at 5 p.m.). It is closed on Tuesdays.
