The Doge's Palace is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice. The oldest part of the palace is the facade overlooking the lagoon, the corners of which are decorated with 14th century sculptures by Filippo Calendario and various Lombard artists such as Matteo Raverti and Antonio Bregno. The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the Republic of Venice, opening as a museum in 1923. Piazza San Marco is the principal public square of Venice, Italy, where it is generally known just as "the Piazza". The Piazzetta ("little Piazza") is an extension of the Piazza towards the lagoon in its south east corner (see plan). The two spaces together form the social, religious and political center of Venice and are commonly considered together. Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
