The structure fulfilled several functions, serving as the grand entrance to the palace, the site of major ceremonies such as the coronation of the doge and as the major sculptural focus of the palace. Its role, therefore, was not only practical but also symbolic, as is apparent from the design. Rizzo deliberately emphasized the staircase by giving it a different scale and decoration in relation to the surrounding walls. The massive staircase leads into the palace through three arches of the first floor arcade, recalling a Roman triumphal arch. A small prison used to house traitors and enemies of the state was situated below the stairs, so that the doge could ceremonially tread on them as he entered and exited the palace. Colossal statues of Mars and Neptune, sculpted by Jacopo Sansovino and his pupils in the 16th century, crown the staircase on either side and proclaim the military and naval power of Venice.
