The Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark's Square, is undoubtedly
the most popular tourist destination in Venice. And
it is beautiful!!! The building itself, located due
north of the Piazza della Signoria, was begun by the
sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio in 1296. The best time to
visit is in october / November as it is a lot cooler
at this time of year with the added benefits of a lot
less visitors enabling a more enjoyable and memorable
visit Take

Rialto
Bridge |
|
The Ponte di Rialto is the true heart of Venice. The
structure was built in just three years, as a permanent
replacement for the boat bridge and 3 wooden bridges
that had spanned the Grand Canal at various times since
the 12th Century. The Rialto Bridge's 24-foot arch was
designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive
structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that
still support the bridge more than 400 years later.
The bridge has three walkways: two along the outer balustrades,
and a wider central walkway leading between two rows
of small shops that sell jewelry, linens, Murano glass,
and other items for the tourist trade. Take

Murano |
|
Murano was a commercial port as far back as the 7th
Century, and by the 10th Century it had grown into a
prosperous trading center with its own coins, police
force, and commercial aristocracy. Then, in 1291, the
Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to transfer their
foundries to Murano because the glassworks represented
a fire hazard in Venice, whose buildings were mostly
wooden at the time.
It wasn't long until Murano's glassmakers were the leading
citizens on the island. Artisans were granted the right
to wear swords and enjoyed immunity from prosecution
by the notoriously high-handed Venetian state. By the
late 14th Century, the daughters of glassmakers were
allowed to marry into Venice's elite families.

| Classic Venice |
|
Venice one of the most imaginative cities one can visit,
and has been so since centuries. Its special appeal
obviously lies in its unique location in the lagoon
and on the water, and its many remarkable buildings.
The most typical aspect of Venice, is its canals. Whilst
the Canal Grande is the best known and the biggest canal,
there are many more smaller canals which deserve a visit.
It is relatively easy to explore them
