There is Piazza di España under the hill of Trinity Church in Rome, Italy, located at the junction of Gran Via Avenue and Princess Street, which is divided into two major roads, Xia Yuxiang took everyone to stroll on the Plaza de España, Qu Lihua looked around curiously, the European architectural art style is indeed different from our Chinese architectural style, the harmonious combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture has a unique style and charm.

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "European architecture is different, we Chinese are used to seeing our oriental architecture, Suzhou gardens, and then looking at European architecture, we always feel a little rusty. ”

"Yes, Captain Xia, I also have this feeling you said, our oriental palaces and gardens are magnificent, pay attention to neatness, and the roof also pays attention to the beauty of symmetry, the roof is not as sharp as that of the West, I feel that the roof of their church is particularly sharp. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "That's because the religion in the West is different from ours, and many places in the West believe in God, and they feel that building a high roof will bring them closer to God." ”

"They believe in God and are willing to tell God their hearts, God has a sacred position in their hearts, so there are a lot of churches in the West, every time they go to a country or a city, they often see churches, and people encounter any troubles in their lives, they go to the church to sit down, so that their hearts can be purified, and if they have any wishes, they can pray, if they have any mistakes, they can repent, and their hearts have a place to confide, which I think is also very good, and it can reduce the crime rate to some extent. ”

If those sins have a kind heart, go to church regularly, listen to God's teachings, lower their inner desires, and control themselves well, maybe they will reduce their sin. ”

"But religion is only religion, it can only solve the problems of some people, not all of them, or rely on laws and rules and regulations to restrain people's behavior, as well as the supervision of morality and public opinion, and many forces work together to make society operate in a regular manner. ”

"Yes!" Oliver nodded, acknowledging, "That's true, society needs everyone to work together, and the results we see now are also through the efforts of generations to have the current scene, we are still very grateful for the efforts of our ancestors, let's go ahead and see, there are still a lot of tourists who come here." ”

"Okay!" Captain Xia Yuxiang nodded, led everyone, and followed Oliver forward.

The square contains buildings including the Doge's Residence, the Gardens, the Chocolate House, and the Spanish Arch, which was destroyed during World War II and only has its pedestal.

Meng Wenjie saw this, or quite touched, "World War II still has a great impact on the world, many countries have suffered losses, the war has brought people years can not be erased, we have been to many countries, seen many scenic spots, have left a spot, many buildings were damaged during World War II, and then restored or rebuilt." ”

"Yes!" Qu Lihua sighed: "The history of mankind always moves forward with twists and turns, nothing is smooth sailing, a country has times of prosperity, there are times when it suffers from war, aggression and counter-aggression, this is the theme of the world, France, Italy, Spain, these three countries are very close, there are similarities in history, and there are also differences. ”

Oliver said, "I'll take you inside and have a look, because it's named because of its connection with the Spanish Doge's wife." ”

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie also felt a little curious when they heard Oliver's words, and followed him forward, the chocolate house is a small hexagonal house, which is said to be named after the wife of the Spanish governor who invited the nobles to afternoon tea and taste chocolate.

"Italians love chocolate, we have hot chocolate here, it's so fragrant, girls love it, you can't say no!" Oliver said with a smile.

"Hot chocolate, I like it too, girls really like it, and they like to drink coffee and milk tea!" Qu Lihua became interested when she heard it.

Oliver said: "In Plaza de España, the Spanish Tower and the Madrid Tower are famous, both of which were designed by the Otamedi brothers. ”

Qu Lihua looked up, the Spanish building was very tall, Oliver told Qu Lihua, this is a 25-story skyscraper, 117 meters high, the junction of Gran Via and Princess Street, the location is very good, Madrid's commercial tourism hinterland, adjacent to the Royal Palace of Madrid, is one of the tallest buildings in Madrid's four-building business district, and is also a model of Spanish architecture in the 20th century, and is a landmark in Italy.

The classicist, romantic, Gothic, Baroque, and neoclassical buildings in the neighborhood have been well preserved, and it is simply an architectural museum.

On San Leonardo Street, next to the Spanish building, there is the Church of San Marco, one of the most attractive Baroque buildings in Madrid.

The Spanish Steps are famous for being the filming location of "Roman Holiday", an outdoor staircase in Rome, Italy, connected to Piazza di Spagna, and the Church of the Holy Trinity on the hill is located at the top of the Spanish Steps, and visitors can climb up the steps to the Church of the Holy Trinity.

Therefore, there are many tourists, forming a very popular trend, and there are many portraits and flower stalls on the steps, and it is really lively to sit down on the steps and sell one after another.

In addition, there is an ancient Egyptian obelisk, behind which is the Church of the Holy Trinity on the hill, which can be climbed to the highest level of the church and overlooks the entire square.

Italy is also the same as France, there is a "boat fountain" built in front of the steps, there are sculptures, there is a fountain bubbling out next to it, the fountain is very popular in front of the fountain, there are music lovers who come here to play guitar, tourists gather around to take pictures, a lively scene.

Oliver told Qu Lihua that the fountain was the work of Bernini's father, and the idea came from a burst of the banks of the Tverre River, where a small boat was pushed by the water, so the shape of the boat sculpture was designed, all of which have allusions and stories, and the stories from the folk are more infectious and can move people's hearts.

The square is surrounded by English-style teahouses, built in the 18th century and once named the Jewish Quarter of the British.

Oliver said: "Many great writers have lived here, Stendhal, Balzac, Wagner, Liszt, Browning are all famous names, and Keats's former residence is here. ”

In addition to their personal materials, there are also rich materials such as manuscripts, letters, body masks, and photographs of Byron and others, which attract literature lovers here all year round.

"The literary atmosphere here is very strong, although many years have passed, but it still retains some romantic and elegant literary atmosphere!"

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "The scenery here is really beautiful, you can take a look around, and later, we will gather again!"

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie looked around and were fascinated by the ancient Romanesque cloisters, arches, capitals, and the Sevillian style of Arabic and Spanish architecture.

Qu Lihua admired, "Piazza di Spagna is known as the most beautiful square in Italy, it is really lively!"

"Yes, this is a landmark in Italy, one of the must-see attractions in Italy, I am still very happy to have such an opportunity, follow Captain Xia to see for a long time, the world is really big, and the world is also wonderful!"
