The inner side of the Doge's Palace (courtyard) shows the giant's staircase guarded by Mars and Neptune. They represent Venice's power by land or by sea. At the top of the stairway the rounded Foscari Arch is different from the pointed Gothic style of the other arches. They are all accompanied by detailed Corinthian style pillars.
