History Walks in Venice<p><strong>Tombs of the doges</strong></p><p></p><p>The doges of the <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/article/the-republic-of-venice/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Republic of Venice</a> usually received a <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/venetian-story/however-well-make-another/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">public funeral</a> as heads of state, but the actual burial usually happened in a place of their own choosing.</p><p>Many were laid to rest in churches or monasteries with which they had a personal or family bond.</p><p>The tombs of the doges are mostly in Venice, but there are quite a few outside the city too. Some died abroad, and were buried there, such as <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/proper-name/enrico-dandolo-doge-1192-1205/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Enrico Dandolo</a>, who died in Constantinople following the Fourth Crusade. He was buried in the Hagia Sofia, where an epigraph remains.</p><p>Many burials of doges are lost or simply unknown, due to a scarcity of documents. This is the case for all the earliest doges.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/topics/monuments-great-and-small/" target="_blank">#MonumentsGreatAndSmall</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/doge/" target="_blank">#Doge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/monuments/" target="_blank">#Monuments</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/tombs/" target="_blank">#Tombs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venezia/" target="_blank">#Venezia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venice/" target="_blank">#Venice</a></p><p>Read more here: <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/list/tombs-of-the-doges/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://historywalksvenice.com/list/tombs-of-the-doges/</a></p>
