Lords of the Night were Police and Judges of the Venetian Republic. The prison staff will escort you to an authentic Prison Palace with cramped cells, a court, and gruesome torture chambers with real tortures and justice tools. Casanova was arrested by the Lords of the Night in the Prison's Palace! The Palace is "inhabited" by life-size figures of the Lords of the Night, prisoners, judges, lawyers, and all characters working in the prisons who were taken and recreated from ancient manuscripts. The Prisons Palace houses one of the earliest prisons in Europe, dating back to 1500. See authentic graffiti left by the inmates and get to know the exciting Casanova’s jailbreak: listen to the tale of when he managed to escape from the maximum-security prison! Only for small groups (maximum 16 people per visit)

I loved this tour. It's a little hard to find the entrance cause there are no signs. Google maps will take you right to the door. Inside the door is a booth where they will check your online ticket. It's a very quick tour, but very good with lots of replicas and some original equipment.

Giulia our guide made this visit memorable thanks to her excellent English and informative commentary. The visit details the umpteen ways in which prisoners of the place were made to suffer inhuman treatment and you can see replicas of the various torture devices and other products of man's cruelty to man. It is quite astonishing in scope. Giulia handled a commentary in Italian and an immediate and fluent translation into English. She was easy to understand and very thorough and passionate in her explanations. She invited questions and her answers were very informative. She made the whole visit a delight, in as much as a museum of torture can be a delight..

This is a great little tour. Loved our tour guide, she was so knowledgeable, good humor. There were some crazy torture methods back in the day. How many different ways can you use spikes??? If you love history, this is a great little off the beaten path way to spend an hour. Two thumbs up!
