Event
Expanding the Doge's Palace
The construction of the Doge's Palace in Venice began in the 9th century and continued throughout the subsequent centuries. Originally conceived as a fortress-like edifice, the palace evolved over time into a magnificent representation of Gothic architecture. This architectural marvel serves the dual purpose of being both the residence of the Ruler Title, the preeminent political leader of the Venice and housing various government offices and courts.
Over the time, however, the building has grown visibly old and in a need of renovation. Perhaps, we should consider turning it into a palace that would dwarf even the royal residences of Western kings.
