Sala delle Quattro Porte (Hall of the Four Doors) at the Doge’s Palace in Venice in the Veneto region of northern Italy. This is the first room the visitor enters whilst on a walking tour of the Palace. The long room or Chamber with a decorated high ceiling in the Hall of the four doors was a meeting chamber for the Lordship (Signoria). After a devastating fire destroyed part of the palace in 1574, the present chamber was restored and designed by Andrea Palladio, an Italian Renaissance architect and Giovan Antonio Rusconi a Venetian architect, with construction by Antonio da Ponte. The ceiling was painted by Venetian-born painter, Jacopo Robusti who adopted the nickname for Tintoretto. On the surrounding walls, hang paintings by Titian, (Tiziano Vecellio) , Andrea Vicentino, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1578
