Scala dei Giganti<\/strong><\/p><p>You see this impressive staircase immediately upon entering the courtyard. The staircase is decorated with huge statues of Mars and Neptune and was used in official ceremonies. <\/p><p><strong>2. Sala del Maggior Consiglio<\/strong><\/p><p>This is the largest room in the palace. This is where the Great Council of Venice met. The walls are covered with large paintings, including works by Tintoretto, that tell the story of the city.  <\/p><p><strong>3. The Bridge of Sighs<\/strong><\/p><p>This famous bridge connects the palace to the prison. Prisoners walked freely here for the last time before serving their sentences. Hence the name: Bridge of Sighs.  <\/p><p><strong>3. The prison cells<\/strong><\/p><p>Via the bridge you enter the dark cells where prisoners stayed. These rooms give a good idea of how tough life was here. <\/p><p><strong>4. The Golden Staircase (Scala d&#8217;Oro).<\/strong><\/p><p>This staircase leads to the Doge&#8217;s official rooms.
