Venice the magic
Venice the magic
This is the ultimate, a city like no other. No I am not talking as a new comer, still a novice though, after x times visiting. The more you come the more you love this place.What makes it so special ?
It makes little difference, Venice 's beauty lies within the city, it's lanes, it 's churches ( 115 of them) It has history at each corner, at each entrance, at each doorstep.
Venetians are a proud people, perhaps rightly so. Who else can look back at history of 2000 years? Be proud Venetians, you are allowed to.
Venice had it 's prime time around the middle ages 1400 A.D., when it's navy ruled the Mediterranean sea, it's merchants brought in the bullion from afar.
It was a splendor one can only guess from the historical paintings and buildings around the city.
What was more visible is the closeness to the church. 115 churches built in this city alone. One can not move without crossing a house of god. This might be the secret ?
I visited a dozen or so cathedrals, San Marco cathedral, Santa Maria, and numerous others, I would have to refer to my guide to name them.
One more beautiful than the other. It is hard to overlook such.
This goes on and on. One can not describe such beauty in a few words and it will take a long time. we shall for now point you to ITALY page.
Also we have some links you may find useful : ITALYLINKS
We also found problems with some staff at the airport MARCO POLO. This Venice we do not want.
Lets just we love, and forget about a few individuals who try and spoil our happiness.
If you come back we shall more about our Venice. The one we love. For Venice is eternal, beautiful and worth each visit.
