The Doge’s Palace is an impressive historic building with a humongous set of brick and marble walls. It is located in St. Mark’s Square next to the Basilica San Marco. The Great Hall has intricate multi-colored mosaic ceilings and shiny gold accents. Many of the paintings …
Verona is a beautiful city not far out of Venice. We got there on the Frecciarossa; a bright red high speed train. When we got there it started raining, so we hopped on a road train and took a tour of the city, starting and …
