Directions
Bocche dei Leoni
Walk past San Teodoro’s statue and turn right to walk along the roofed walkway which runs behind the Giants’ staircase. You will walk past the entrance leading to the Museum Cafe and the wardrobe. If you carry a backpack or large baggage items, you are advised to leave them at the wardrobe before continuing your visit. Walk past the entrance leading to the toilets and continue straight until you see on your left the staircase that will lead you to the upper part of the palace. There is a semi-floor, wherein toilets are available. Continue upstairs to reach the Loggias. You’ll turn right and you’ll see immediately on your right a small hole on the wall. Continue straight ahead until you see another similar hole on your right and a human face carved on the wall. It is the so-called Bocca di Leone, which is our next point of interest.
