The four plain windows and the very graceful balcony belong to the Sala del Maggior Consiglio.

The two ornate windows on the right were added when the palace was brought into line with this portion, and they are lower because the room they light is on a level lower than the great Council Hall's.

The two ugly little square windows (Bonington in his picture in the Louvre makes them three) probably also were added then.
When the elegant spired cupolas at each corner of the palace roof were built, I do not know, but they look like a happy afterthought.

The small balcony overlooking the lagoon, which is gained from the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, and which in Canaletto and Guardi's eighteenth-century pictures always, as now, has a few people on it, was built in 1404.

It is to be seen rightly only from the water or through glasses.
