This pink and white, gothic fairytale concoction was the centre of the Venetian empire. From state apartments and council chambers down to the prison cells, the place breathes power. Its decorators included Veronese and Tintoretto (whose awesome Paradiso in the Great Council Room is the biggest oil painting in the world – he painted it for free at the age of 72). Don’t miss Titian’s painting of St Christopher, hidden away above the back of a door on the first floor.
