The Sala del Collegio (the Hall of the College) was the room where foreign delegations or important, famous personages were received and granted an audience by the College, a magistracy composed of the doge and six councilors. The hall was completely redecorated after the fire in 1574. The renovated gilded ceiling frames a series of works by Veronese between 1578 and 1582. Veronese also painted the immense canvas above the throne on the end wall of the hall.

In the antechamber (Sala di Anticollegio) hangs Veronese's Rape of Europa, among Tintoretto's canvases.
