Doge's Palace
Tom George
My thanks to Tom George for allowing me to reproduce his photograph of the Doge's Palace. Tom's story is very uplifting, and his website is a chronicle of his journeys abroad (and within), made all the more remarkable since he suffers from MS.

BOTTOM: Templeton's Carpets in Glasgow
Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) was the residence of the Doge, or leader, who held absolute power over Venice, until Napoleon abolished the office of Doge in 1797. The palace's present design is largely credited as being the work of Giovanni and Bartolomeo Buon, built between 1309-1424.The world's largest painting, Paradise, is housed in the Grand Council chamber.
