Land attractions are very close to each other, just a few minutes walk. If you want to feel the most luxurious European-style architecture, St. Mark's Basilica in Venice is the best choice. It was once the largest church in medieval Europe and a classic of Venetian architectural art. The typical Byzantine architectural style combines the essence of Eastern and Western architecture. It has both Romanesque art and Renaissance innovation. There are five diamond-arched Romanesque gates on the front, and Eastern and Gothic spires on the top. And various marble statue reliefs, huge domes and unique mosaics are its most prominent features.

What's more interesting is the history of this church. The holy relic here is the real relic of St. Mark, one of Jesus' disciples. In 828 AD, not long after Venice got rid of the rule of the Byzantine Empire, it needed the protection of a higher-status saint, so two Venetian merchants sneaked into the city of Alexandria where St. , and the murals of this church depict in detail the process of their sneaking out, vividly, without any shyness.

The jewelry displayed in the church is full of beautiful things in eyes, and objects cast in gold abound. gold altar It is the treasure of the town hall of the church. The golden screen with a width of 3.48 meters and a height of 1.4 meters is decorated with more than 2,500 diamonds, rubies, pearls, topaz, emeralds and amethysts. It stands to reason that a city as small as Venice never Where did so many babies come from?

This is another unabashed history, no wonder some tourists commented: This is the most extravagant church I have ever seen. It feels like the church is piled up with gold, and there is a treasure room or something. The whole church says "I am expensive, come and see me. " After leaving the St. Mark's Basilica, you can see the St. Mark's Bell Tower. St. Mark's Bell Tower is 98.6 meters high and is one of the landmarks of Venice. It can be raised to the top by elevator.

The afternoon is the most beautiful time in Venice. If you are lucky enough to climb to the top of the tower under the setting sun, you will see the whole city of Venice rendered by the setting sun. Everything you see is golden and beautiful. Just around the corner from Piazza San Marco is another famous sight, the Bridge of Sighs. Historically, prisoners who have been interrogated in the Governor's Mansion will enter the Bridge of Sighs from the Governor's Mansion. They will take a last look at the outside world from the stone window of the bridge and often sigh, hence the name of the Bridge of Sighs.

There is also a romantic legend about the Bridge of Sighs: At sunset, if lovers kiss each other on the Gondola under the Bridge of Sighs, they will get eternal love forever. This legend makes the "Bridge of Sighs" one of the most romantic bridges in the world

In short, Venice is beautiful, and it is even more quiet. I feel that this is the most beautiful life, and it is really beautiful.
