When Venice got rid of Byzantine control and became a city republic, the Senate decided that San Marco was the new patron saint of the city in place of Theodore, so the emblem of Venice was a huge lion holding the Gospel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
St. Mark's Basilica is not just a church, it is a very good building and a treasure trove of rich works of art. It is a fusion of Eastern and Western architectural features, it was originally a Byzantine building, and in the 15th century Gothic decorations were added, such as pointed arches; In the 17th century, Renaissance decoration was added.
Such as railings, etc. In appearance, its five domes are said to have come from Hagia Sophia's Church in Istanbul, Turkey; The ornate decoration on the façade is derived from the Byzantine style; The structure of the whole church is a Greek cross-shaped design, and these architectural features are amazing. The façade of the church with its five entrances and its ornate Roman arches are land.
Continued in the 17th century, above the arch of the entrance are five mosaics depicting the deeds of St. Mark, which are the five designer themes of the Church of St. Mark, which were transported back from Constantinople to the final judgment of Venice, the myth of St. Mark, the Myth of St. Mark, and the entry of St. Mark's Basilica into St. Mark's Church.
The hot weather is the first time that Yunluo and An have no interest in traveling, Yunluo and Minyi, Flora simply went back to the B&B first, planning to take a rest and come out in the evening. This break was rested until five o'clock, although it was late, but the sun in Venice was still there, and it was estimated that I could sit on the boat and watch the sunset, and the mood was beautiful
Since the boat to the color island was gone after six o'clock, Yunluo and An Chuyu changed their plans and took a boat to the glass island. Sitting on the boat, I really caught the sunset, drove through the main island of Venice, Yunluo and An first met and traveled in the vast sea, La Glass Island is an island in the lake of Venice, Italy.
Nominally an island, but in fact an archipelago. The islands are connected by bridges and are shaped like the same islands. Located about 16 kilometers north of the main island of Venice, the Glass Island is famous for its colorful Murano glassware, especially brushed thermoplastics. In 1291, the Republic of Venice feared that a fire in the glassworks would cause a fire in the city of Venice, which was full of wooden houses.
Ordered all the glassworks in Venice to move to the Isle of Glass. Since then, the Glass Island has become the center of the colorful glass manufacturing industry. 14th century. Glass Island began exporting glassware, famous for its glass beads, glass mirrors and glass chandeliers. In the 15th century, the Glass Island also became a holiday destination for the Venetians, who built many palaces on the island.
Famous attractions on the island include the churches of Santa Maria and San Donato, famous for their 12th-century Byzantine mosaic walkways. It was already six o'clock when Yunluo and An first met, and the shops and museums were closed. Some of them are disappointed, and they can only look at the glass crafts in the window. However, compared to the main island, there are many fewer tourists, and you can feel the atmosphere of the locals living more.
Although the architecture of the color island is known for its rich colors, the architecture of the glass island is not inferior. There are very few restaurants on the glass island in the evening, and Yunluo and An Chuyu plan to go home. After seven o'clock here, there are fewer boats. Sitting on the boat, the breeze is coming and the scenery is close in front of you. Back to the main island as too lazy to check the water bus route.
Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to walk back. You can also take in the surrounding scenery as you walk. The city of Venice is not big, it is not small, shuttling through the winding alleys, just like playing CS, you never know if it can turn left and right if it does not reach the end of a road. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu have mobile phone maps.
Passing by a restaurant, the Venice of the night is full of feelings, colorful ~ Walking into the alley, the restaurant is full of emotionally charged foreigners, probably drunk. They all call friends. On the way to the hotel, we passed by a square where an elderly rock band was singing, and there were many snacks for sale.
The square was full of people. They all cheered enthusiastically along with the band. Yunluo and An Chufeng were listening to the song when they met a group of Italian youths. Drunken to Yunluo and An's first encounter. Before they could open their mouths, Yunluo guessed that they must have lost a drink and bet and were being punished. Sure enough, a bespectacled young man begged to hug Yunluo.
Yunluo didn't think about it. Gave him a big hug. They also invited Yunluo and An Chuyu to drink, but Yunluo refused originally, and it was not good to salivate with others. Flora, however, took the cup and drank it, and a third of the cup was drunk. Yunluo was not to be outdone when he saw this, grabbed the cup, and drank it in a big gulp, it was so refreshing
I was really infected by the enthusiasm of the Italian people, if the inhabitants of Florence moved Yunluo with sincerity, then the people in Venice infected Yunluo with their passion. Under the colourful walls, people from all over the world break the limits of the country and gather in Venice to speak their minds. Venice, that night, the clouds fall for you to revel in
Among the several Italian cities that Yunluo and Ann first met and visited, Milan was the last stop. For five days in a row, not a single day was cloudy, but it was a super sunny day. It happened that the apartment where Yunluo and An Chumet lived in Milan was super good, and everyone was nestled in the house and didn't want to come out. When it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally came out slowly.
Due to the night Expo, in the city of Milan, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not have too much content, just to see what its landmark looked like. Take the metro to Milan Duomo station, and as soon as you exit the station, you will be greeted by typical Gothic architecture. Since I was a child, I have loved the complicated Gothic architecture, and the grandeur and complexity of this one have deeply shocked the clouds.
In particular, the harsh sun shines on the snow-white marble walls, and it feels like the whole church is glowing. The Duomo is truly a symbol of Milan and is the third largest church in Europe after St. Peter's Church in Rome and Seville in Spain, as proposed by Duke Giangaleazzovisti to be dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
The Duomo of Milan is the largest Gothic church in the world, and it is also the finest Gothic church that can be seen in Italy. The church is 158 meters long and 93 meters wide at its widest point. The spire reaches 1,085 meters at its highest point. The church covers an area of about 12,000 square meters, and the architectural style of the church is very unique, with a Gothic minaret in the upper part.
The tallest minaret is 108 meters high and topped by a 42-meter statue of the Virgin Mary, gilded with gold. The lower part is typical of the Baroque style, decorated with sculptures from top to bottom, and is extremely intricately and exquisitely decorated with beautiful buildings, which is a representative building of the Renaissance period. A total of 135 minarets rise to the top, and a statue stands on each of them facing outward.
There are more than 3,400 statues that decorate the entire church. It includes 96 monsters of various shapes, with monsters different around each corner. The exterior of the building is dotted with beautifully carved window lattices, which are about half a mile and 1 kilometer long. Just shocked by the momentum of the duomo, the arcade of Emanuele II next to him is no less impressive.
It claims to be one of the most beautiful commercial arcades in Europe. Built between 1865 and 1977, it is topped by a steel-framed stained glass canopy, with two intersecting promenades in the shape of a cross, 198 meters long from north to south and 105 meters long from east to west. The promenade was built in honor of the Father of the Italian Nation. So named after the first king of Italy.
It broke ground in March 1865 in the presence of King Emmanuel II of Italy. The architect Mengeney designed the promenade, which took twelve years to complete until 1877. In 1943, during World War II, this famous building was hit by an air raid during the war, causing heavy damage.
After the war, the Milanese government carried out serious restorations, which were not renovated until 1967. The brands in the corridor are too high-end, so that Yunluo and other ** silk can't afford it. After taking pictures, he quickly left. As the fashion capital, Milan is surrounded by shopping streets along several streets from Duomo, and Chinese students living here must be shopping as a pastime every day.
It's so tempting. Because of the time relationship, Yunluo and An could only choose one of the shopping malls to visit when they first met. Adhering to the most unique tenet of shopping when you want to shop, Yunluo and Ann first met to excelsiormilano. It's a gathering place for hipsters. The display in the store is very designed, and the things sold are also very original, that is, the price...... Outrageously expensive.
If you look at the watch, it's almost seven o'clock, and the night ticket for the Expo can be used from seven o'clock. Yunluo hurriedly got on the direct subway to the Expo. EXPO, Yunluo and Ann first met in 2010. Yunluo had been a ninja for three consecutive days, visiting the Expo Park in Sihai City, and five years later, Yunluo came to Milan. It is of great significance to visit the Expo again.
The area of this Expo is not as large as that of Sihai City, and the attention of the organizers is not as strong as that of Sihai City, but because of the cheap ticket prices and the flow of people, it still attracts Yunluo to go. The theme of this year's Expo is "Nourishing the Planet. "FeedingThepla, EnergyForLife", aims to focus on global food security, sustainable development.
Addressing issues such as population growth while exploring the relationship between the earth's resources and human diets. I would like to recommend to you a post written by a Chinese volunteer working at the Milan City Expo, which introduces in detail all aspects of the Milan Expo: out of the subway station.
It does not mean that Yunluo and An can directly enter the Expo Park when they meet for the first time, but through a long bridge, the buildings in the Expo Park can already be seen in the distance, and the hearts of the three friends of Yunluo and An Chuyu have already drifted there. The advantage of night tickets is that they don't have to wait in line. It takes no more than five minutes to buy a ticket, pay the entrance fee of 5 euros per person, and you're done
Some venues in the Expo have experience projects, you need to make an appointment in advance, Yunluo was optimistic about the flight simulator of the Italian Aviation Pavilion two months ago, and made an appointment for Yunluo and An to meet the five people for the first time, although two friends did not go in the end, but it was a fulfillment of Yunluo. Because the agreed five times belonged to the three people Yunluo and An Chu met in a blink of an eye.
However, there is a little bit that Yunluo and An Chuyu underestimated this Expo. Although the area of the park is relatively small, it took fifteen minutes to walk from the entrance to the aviation hall, and it took 15 minutes for Yunluo to walk briskly, and Yunluo was tired enough. I heard that there is a free shuttle bus in the Expo Park, and comrades who are going to the Expo Park can make good use of it.
I finally arrived at the Aviation Pavilion, took out the reservation letter, and began to simulate the flight. During the flight, the host commander will lead Yunluo, as the co-pilot, to operate the operation buttons on the flight simulator, just like a real civil aviation flight. At the end of the flight, Yunluo was also awarded a flight medal. Out of the Aviation Pavilion, the red spiral building next to it is the Huaguo Vanke Museum.
The highlight of the Expo, the Tree of Life, will feature a musical fountain at night. Yunluo went to the Italian Pavilion next to the Tree of Life for a visit. It is said that this venue is the largest of the venues, but the content is a bit empty, that is, it will introduce you to the various walks of life in Italy, as well as the various landscapes. This house is beautiful, but there are too many people. Affects the sense of beauty.
Let's take a picture of the top floor of the Italian Pavilion with this good color that no one has to look at, and introduce various vegetation from the Italian Pavilion to see the Tree of Life, I originally wanted to go to the Japanese Pavilion, which is said to be a great exhibit, but when I got there, I found that I was closed at eight o'clock. It's so sad...... The huge signboard of the American Pavilion is quite dreamy in this small country, I don't know which pavilion it is, Yunluo personally thinks that the shape is more beautiful than the Tree of Life.
I heard that the German Pavilion is also worth seeing, but unfortunately it is also closed to the DJ outside the German Pavilion performing, attracting many people to come forward to dance, and then Yunluo and An Chu met a South American pavilion. I saw that some people were dancing, and they also joined in the fun. The Expo at night is really a big party~ Another highlight of the Expo is the food. I wanted to try Italian specialties.
But the friends in the same company didn't want to eat, so Yunluo lost interest, and it was not too early to see the time, so he bought an ice cream to satisfy his hunger. The strange pasta man at the door of the restaurant is like this, Yunluo and An meet for the first time ended their trip to the Expo, because they had to catch the train the next morning, which also heralded the end of the trip to Milan.
In this city, there are too many regrets. Because I was greedy for cheap, I bought a night ticket. But I can't see the Chinese Pavilion, the Japanese Pavilion, and the German Pavilion that I want to see; Because of snooze, because of laziness, I didn't walk around Milan much, and I missed out on many experiences that I instinctively had. Milan, waiting for the clouds to fall next time
It took nearly five hours to arrive in Nice, and it was already noon, so I had a full meal first. After eating. It was time to arrive at the hotel. The hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu met was selected in the middle of the railway station and Jean Mason Street, which greatly facilitated the travel of Yunluo and An Chuyu. Because Jean Avenue Madeson is the center of the whole of Nice, the pedestrian street is the main shopping and dining area in Nice.
There are many shops, including Galeries Lafayette, the Magasinsgalerie Slafayette, which is known as "the most attractive shopping avenue in Nice". with the paths on both sides of the street. The business atmosphere is also quite dynamic. There is also the famous Monoprix supermarket. The monoprix supermarket has a lot of things and is relatively cheap, if you plan to travel on a budget.
You can consider buying something to eat here, and even if you don't eat here, you can still supply some food and grass here. Next to the Monoprix supermarket is the OLIE department store, the largest department store in Nice. There are many pharmacies on this street, and in the pharmacies there are many famous French cosmeceuticals, such as Vitzia, La Roche-Posay, etc.
There is also the Basilique Notre Dame Cathedral for those who like churches. At the northern end of the street is Nice Central Station. To the south, you can see Place Massena, and after that, you can see the waterfront of Nice.
That is, the Bay of Angels on the Cte d'Azur. After the Place Massena, you can also see the famous pronade de sanglais, from the train station through the avenue jeande to the square Massina, the whole distance is only one kilometer, saving the money for the bus.
After resting in the hotel, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off with a group of five people and began to sweep the streets. Pass the largest rectangular colonnaded church in Nice, the first modern religious building. Notre-Dame Cathedral was built after the reconstruction 18641868 Nice. Inspired by the cathedral of Angers, the church features stained glass windows from the nineteenth century.
Two obelisk towers with ornate rose motifs, etc. There are many high street brands along the way, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked for an afternoon, and in a blink of an eye, it was sunset, and Yunluo and An Chuyu hurriedly rushed to the Cote d'Azur. Walk along Jean Mason Avenue and soon you reach Place Masina.
Named after Marshal André Masséna, 17581817, one of Nice's most illustrious citizens, it is the intersection of Avenue Jean Mason, as well as the seaside, the Boulevard des Anglides des Eng, which can be considered the center of Nice. Galeries Lafayette is in the building of the arcade on the left side of the picture above, due to time constraints.
Yunluo and An didn't go to see it when they first met. Passing through the square, we will soon arrive at the Bay of Angels, everyone took a group photo to mark the beach, Yunluo and An first met without a swimsuit, only to take a photo with the sea, the first photo also took a handsome guy ~ a normal little friend ~ playful children, super cute.
The beach in Nice is not sand, but pebbles, so stepping on it is like a mermaid, and it hurts to step on it. Even so, it didn't stop Yunluo's friends from playing in the water, and in the end they had reached the realm of ignoring it, and sat directly in the sea with their clothes on. Seeing that the sun has set, because of the proposal of the clouds falling.
Jessi and Yunluo head to the castle hills not far away. On the way up from the Bay of Angels to the castle hills, is the famous Englishman Walk. In 1820, the British here financed the construction of the British Promenade, a promenade by the sea. This 35-kilometre-long premium coastal promenade brings together the most expensive hotels in Nice. To be continued.
