Grand Canal, Italy - Architechture

Monuments

Boarding the vaporetto #1 (water bus) alongside the Canal Grande is like departing back all the way back to centuries of history. The celebrated Venetian shipping canal rambles more than 3.5 km throughout all six districts of the historic center, enlightening pearls of architecture string along both its banks flanked by Ferrovia and the eventual station at Piazza San Marco. The inspiring veneers of Renaissance palaces polish shoulders with luxuriantly embellished Gothic arches; all-embracing frescoes decorate historic apartments, and marble mixes with gold ingots. Copious attractions, such as Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the Rialto Bridge, never die down to inflame splendid sighs on the way.
