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 had a hard time finding our guide. There was no company name on a sign being held up. We found our guide by asking other companies if they knew the one we were looking for. Our guide happen to hear us asking for the tour company and then confirmed we were with her. There was no type of company logo on her at all, just regular street clothes. She also had a strong accent and spoke really fast so it was hard to follow her most of the time. However what we did see was pretty cool. The types of torture devices were disturbing.

Great little alternative to the Doge's Palace, just on the opposite side of the bridge. The Prison Palace is where the 'new' prison was built as the Doge's side was not enough. You don't get to go on the Bridge of Sighs with the tour we had. We opted for the guided tour, called "Lords of the Night Prisons Palace: Cells and torture tools." It was such a good tour, really nicely run, informative, and ended up just being the two of us, so was like a private tour! We were told the history of the prison, given a tour of the cells and some great info. The tour was around 45 minutes long, and then we could explore at our leisure, which gave us time to read the information and look at anything not covered in the tour. It is definitely not for those who don't want to know about some of the more gruesome elements of life in medieval times, i.e. imprisonment cells, tools of interrogation, torture, and sometimes execution. We bought tickets 24 hours in advance, but there was no queue anyway, it was really empty, definitely somewhere that is missed because everyone goes to the other side of the bridge, where there was a huge queue. Lots of stairs and some uneven flooring in places. This review is also on Google with Viator referenced.
