After going out, Zhang Feng stared at the group of tourists who came in from the gate, and found that most of the tourists just turned around slowly and even if they came, so the traffic = the hall was not crowded.

If you are idle, you can't help but think about it. At the beginning, Venice, which did not have a strong sense of faith, ceremoniously welcomed St. Mark into the church=It really cost a lot of money, but how could a shrewd Venetian make a loss-making deal. From the 11th century onwards, the Venetian government made it clear that all ships returning to Venice from abroad had to hand over a valuable gift to decorate the church of St. Mark's Trektor = Church.

You know, before the Portuguese discovered the Cape of Good Hope at the end of the 15th century and opened up a new route between Europe and Asia, Europeans wanted to do business in Asia, but they couldn't jump Venice.

Therefore, for more than 400 years, Venice has really made money, and the banks of the canal have become the big sho field of the Venetian rich, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries, which is the peak period of construction, and most of the various buildings that still attract many tourists are built during that period. By the way, the Venetians also developed the habit of sitting on the ground to make a fortune, and the Holy Eyes openly relied on the golden holy vessels to buy and sell in the Jiao = church, which is also a major feature of Venice.

This is an interesting story, Zhang Feng walked aimlessly to a place, saw an old man feeding pigeons, really played with the pigeons, Zhang Feng chatted with the old man for a while, and finally when he left, Zhang Feng knew that he was the former foreign minister of Italy, and also knew some of the history of Venice, and knew that there were three flags hanging at the door of each hotel, the European Union, Italy, and the last one was the flag of Venice.

Another uncle who came to feed the pigeons every day, he also named each pigeon, Zhang Feng was the first time to see someone training pigeons, let them go down, let them come up.

Looking at these pigeons living in the square, according to the uncle, the pigeons have lived in St. Mark's Square for more than a thousand years and are considered aborigines.

St. Mark's Church was once the largest church in medieval Europe, built in the 9th century and completed in 1094. Jiao = Hall building in Byzantine style, in the shape of a Greek cross, covered with 5 hemispherical domes, is a fusion of Byzantine, Gothic, Islamic, Renaissance various genres in one of the comprehensive art masterpieces.

The gold-adorned mosaic façade wall painting comes to life and depicts the death of St. Mark and how his remains were transported out. Two Venetian merchants stole St. Mark's body from Alexandria by mixing it in barrels of cured pork and other goods.

The tour guide of the rubbing group, Zhang Feng learned that St. Mark's body was still kept under the altar of St. Mark's Great Friendship Church.

The interior is resplendent with beautiful murals and countless art treasures.

The frescoes of the large dome depict many stories from the Ascension, and its themes cover the sermons of the twelve apostles = the sermon of the apostles, the base = the priest = the martyrdom, the base = the governor and the prophet = the prophet, and the portrait of the saint = man, etc., and the surface is covered with gold leaf, so the St. Mark's = church is also called the golden big church = church.

In fact, San Marco is not allowed to take pictures inside, but Zhang Feng assured that the cliff was the first to raise the camera, and he was also damaged by various crooked nuts, so he left many photos in the camera.

Climb up to St. Mark's Bell Tower, the highest in the city, and enjoy the magnificent view of Venice from the top.

The red city is surrounded by an endless ocean, dotted with small islands in the distance, and the whole of Venice is clear at a glance, and you can't help but be amazed by this unique city in the world.

Zhang Feng even saw the take-off and landing of planes in the distance.

The five large domes of the nearby St. Mark's = Church catch Zhang Feng's eye, which is a very clear and typical Byzantine architectural feature.

On the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the only building on the island is naturally the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, from which Monet's priceless masterpiece "San Giorgio Maggiore - Early Morning" comes from.

In the distance, the church of Our Lady of Ankang = was built in 1630 A.D., when it was the time when Venice black = death = disease = abuse, and the original intention of building the church was to dedicate to the saint = Virgin Mary = Lyric = Ya in the hope of saving the people from illness, so it was named "Salute", that is, "health, gratitude".

After walking some distance, Zhang Feng came to the Covered Bridge, which is the Bridge of Sighs, and when the prisoners are tried in the Governor's Palace, the felons will be taken to the dungeon through this bridge, and they will lose their freedom from then on. As a result, when the prisoners crossed the bridge, they could only see the blue sky outside through two small windows and involuntarily sigh. Hence the name "Bridge of Sighs".

Looking out of the sighing bridge is the perspective of a line of sky, Zhang Feng waited for a long time before taking a photo that he was satisfied with, and waited until a gondola crossed and clicked back!

There is such a story about the Bridge of Sighs: a man who was executed by betrayal was sent to prison to wait for the final execution, when he passed the Bridge of Sighs, he had no choice but to look out from the hole in the bridge, at this time a pair of lovers were sitting on a gondola under the bridge and kissing passionately, the woman on the boat was actually his lover, the man was annoyed, and frantically crashed into the flower window, the result of the egg hitting the stone must have been broken on the head and bleeding strongly, the blood did not drip off the bridge, and the roar was not heard, of course, the woman could not have heard. Life has been so beautiful, not only a sigh has risen in my heart. Heaven and hell were separated by such a short bridge.

Now the tragic story is long gone, and the legend of the Bridge of Sighs has been given a new chapter. It is said that if couples kiss under the bridge on a gondola, love will be eternal, so countless lovers come every year to kiss in front of the bridge for the love fairy tale of a lifetime.

But could this be a trick of the gondolier to make a business? Zhang Feng thought of it like this, but it was just a fleeting thought, because only gondolas could be made under the bridge.

Most of the rooms in the Doge's Palace are empty and unfurnished, and it is worth seeing the frescoes and ceilings that fill the walls.

When it comes to painting, the Venetian School definitely occupies a place in the history of Western art. When the fire of the Renaissance in Florence was fading, it was Venice that took up the torch and continued to move forward, and the more secular human body and color she advocated for the establishment of Neoclassicism and Impressionism in the history of Western painting in later generations buried a rich undercurrent.

The most famous works in the Doge's Palace are the works of Tintoretto and Veronese.

At 22 meters long and 7 meters wide, Tintoretto's monumental fresco, The Kingdom of Heaven, one of the largest in the world, is one of the largest in the world, and it is located on the east wall of the Grand Chamber of the Doge's Palace. Standing in front of "Heaven = Country" and looking up, you can see Veronese's most outstanding zenith painting, "The Triumph of Venice".
