BREATHTAKING! The immensity of the square and its beauty left us speechless. See St. Mark's Basilica, the Campanile, the Doge's Palace, the pillars with St. Theodore and the winged lion, symbol of Venice, and the galleries surrounding the square. A real open-air museum.
Crossing the Grand Canal we find the most important and oldest bridge in Venice. Inside the bridge is a real shopping street, with a shop in each of its arches. One of the things we found most difficult to take a photo of was the amount of people there.
A visit to the palace that was the seat of government in the former Serenissima Republic of Venice is a must. From here much of the trade with the known world was controlled. If the exterior is impressive, its interior is surprisingly beautiful. The palace connects to the famous Bridge of Sighs.
People walk the streets in incredible masks and period costumes full of feathers from the 17th century, some so ornate they are works of art. If you see masks with a nose shaped like a bird's beak, it's the one that doctors wore in the old days to protect themselves from the Black Death, the pandemic of the Middle Ages.
In our colouring map of Venice you will find a document with a lot of curiosities, in English and Spanish, that will surprise you. Here are some of our favourites!
They are one of the most famous symbols of Venice. A gondola is 11 metres long and weighs 600 kilos. There are about 350 gondolas and 400 gondoliers in the city of Venice.
The winged lion is the symbol of Venice and the symbolic representation of the evangelist St. Mark. It holds an open book between its paws with the phrase: ‘Pax tibi Marce meus evangelista’, which means ‘Peace be with you Mark, my evangelist’. There are representations of the lion with the book open (time of peace) and with the book closed (time of war).
The two columns of the patron saints of the city: St. Mark and St. Theodore guard the water's edge next to Piazza San Marco. It is considered bad luck to cross between them because centuries ago, between the columns, it was a place of public executions.
