Doge’s Palace

Its building began in 1634 with a design by the Roman Architect Bartolomeo Avanzini. The Palace has been the home of the Este Court for more than two centuries; later, it became the home of the prestigious Military Academy.

The Palace hosts the Historic Museum of the Military Academy that contains weapons and armours, memories and memorabilia, and an amazing library (that can be consulted on request to be submitted to the Military Academy headquarters).

You can visit the Doge’s Palace some Saturday and Sunday of the month on request with a guided tour.
