Dogana Veneta

About

Dogana Veneta is a monumental 14th-century building located in the historic downtown of Lazise (VR). During the Venetian-age the building was used as a customs house for the transportation of goods between Lombardy and the Republic of Venice. In fact, the boats had to enter by passing under the imposing arches of its facade, before being able to access the port from an adjacent opening. Later, with the fall of the Venetian Republic, this function ceased, the access from the lake was filled in and the building was used for other purposes, among which, an arsenal. After a meticulous restoration (2003-2006), the building was used for hosting Meetings, Weddings, Gala Dinners, Exhibitions, societal and cultural Events. The structure exquisitely combines an evocative monumental setting with the latest technology of a multi-purpose convention center. It is considered one of the most elegant and exclusive Event Venues in the Province of Verona.
