The Collegio. The doge received ambassadors here, and it's where the Pien Collegio met to prepare bills to send to the Senate. The paintings are by Paolo Veronese. It's hard to tell from the photo, but that's a 24-hour clock on the wall. The painting just "below" the black oval shows Venice enthroned receiving a sword from Justice and an olive branc from Peace.
