Not far from the dock you enter St. Marks square and the beautiful St Marks Campanile tower. (Again any fans of assassins creed 2 will know this tower). Was a massive tower bigger than the one i went in, in Verona was a great site to see.
Right opposite it is St. Marks Basilica. A magnificent church rounded on top and square and pointed round the edges.
It was very busy in this square and i was just amazed at how stunning it all looked and how strange it was to be finally stood in Venice.
Under St. Marks Piazza is this rather strange walk way. Really liked the roof carvings.
Lots of pidgings in the square.
It is a historic and grand building shame that they are begining to put a billboard up here. What is the world coming too seriously.
The strangest thing about Venice was there was water spilling up from the grates where ever you walked, due to the city floating on water. Suprised it hasn't sunk yet, i bet a lot of building work goes on daily to sort it all out.
The Piazza.
Not pizza, Piazza.
Italians are of the Christian religeon and the church was heavily painted with stories from the bible, all churches are but you knew these ones were extra special.
These bronze horses were given as a gift to the church, cant remember why, they are important anyway.
So far Venice has impressed!
