Venice and its Lagoon, Italy

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world. It adores people with the unique architecture and cultural possessions. The adorable buildings of the 14th-16th centuries and a complex system of channels make this city a unique one. Venice is a magnificent city on water. The main symbol of the city is the Catholic cathedral of Saint Markus. The cathedral is built in Byzantine style that is not typical for European countries.

Inside the cathedral is decorated with marvellous mosaics. The main religious artefact is reliquiae of Saint Marcus. Every day there comes to a lot of pilgrims from the whole world. Not far from the cathedral has placed another main architectural monument of Venice – the Palazzo Ducale. The Palace was built in Gothic style in the first half of the 15th century. Unfortunately, we don't know who was the architect of this wonderful building. The palace is a large architectural complex where was saved in an old prison. It is quite impossible to see all street corners and magnificent halls in a day.

Tourists also like to walk on the insular Venice. The main mean of transport there is a boat. People get from one place to another only on foot or by boat. That’s why it is quite easy to get to some beautiful islands. One of them is Burano Island. It became known worldwide thanks to its small houses which facades are painted in rainbow colours. In one of these houses has placed an interesting museum of Venetian lace. On Murano island, you can go to the famous museum of Murano’s glass. Next - Piazza dei Miracoli
