- Doge’s Palace - The Doge’s Palace stands as a prominent landmark in Venice. While its origins trace back to the 9th century, the current structure is a 14th-century reconstruction following a devastating fire. This Gothic masterpiece changes the color of its marble facade based on the sunlight. Inside, you’ll be awestruck by stunning frescoes created by the Italian artist Tintoretto. Additionally, crossing the Bridge of Sighs leads to hidden prisons connected by secret passageways.
- Basilica di San Marco - The San Marco Basilica is another grand Venetian landmark with magnificent architecture. Constructed in the 11th century, it beautifully blends Italo-Byzantine and Gothic styles. The domes’ Oriental design and golden accents, combined with Italian elements, give the church a unique character. It is truly one of a kind!
