Venice, Italy
The traditional black gondola has been an iconic aspect of Venice for centuries, so it would be wrong to visit the beautiful city and not take part in this age-old tradition.
The marbles, pillars, the famous 4 bronze horse statues are all some of the valuables that were looted from Constantinople in the 13th century in the Fourth Crusade and are now found in the renowned main square of Venice, San Marco Piazza.
Palazzo Ducale, or “Doge’s Palace” in English, is a beautiful gothic palace on the Grand Canal of the city of Venice in north-eastern Italy. The Ducale Palace not only houses the doge of Venice but also the political institutions of the city-state as long as it remained a republic. In England, there are some imitations of the Ducale Palace’s unique architectural structure dating back to the 19th century! The Wool Exchange in Bradford, UK for example was modelled after the Doge’s Palace of Venice. Be sure to pay a visit to Venice and compare the profound architectural detail of its landmarks and significant attractions.
The Historical Reggata is a noteworthy and picturesque parade reflecting Venice’s former economic and political importance that is held for everyone to witness on the Grand Canal.
If you tour Venice on your vacation, be sure to take part in a romantic gondola boat ride!
