    The history is so long that it is confusing. I can see that Venice at that time was the center of the world, and above all, I am very surprised that it is an island of population. I wanted to go many times!

    The most famous of Venice is the Cathedral of St. Mark. The Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Mark is the Catholic Patriarchal Cathedral in Venice, Italy, located on the east side of St. Mark's Square, connected to the Palace of the Governor. Originally it was a dedicated church for the Duke of Venice, and since 1807 it has become the cathedral of the Catholic Patriarch of Venice and the Patriarch's residence in Venice. A famous representative of Byzantine architecture, it has the reputation of “Golden Church”. With its various architectural features, including five domes, towers, colored columns and sparkling coupons adjacent to the mosaic, Venice’s St. Mark’s Cathedral is a jewel box inside and outside the building. Together with St. Mark's Cathedral, it is the decorative focal point of St. Mark's Square and one of Venice's must-see attractions. The building of St. Mark's Cathedral began in the early to mid-9th century, when Venice was a powerful maritime city state known as the Republic of Venice. The current church, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, incorporates design elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Byzantine styles, all of which give St. Mark an unquestionable appearance.

    St. Mark's Square is 170 meters long in East and west, 80 meters wide in East and 55 meters wide in west. It has a total area of about 10,000 square meters. It is surrounded by magnificent palace buildings such as churches, bell towers, Governor's Palace and libraries. These buildings are beautiful, harmonious, vivid and lifelike in stone carvings. They can be said to be rare masterpieces in ancient Roman architecture. Venice is full of lions. The bronze lion standing on the column at the entrance of St. Mark's Square is the flying lion, Venice's emblem. Look at the 100-meter-high tower in the middle of the square. Its special significance is that "Galileo's astronomical telescope was used and stored in this tower. It is said that the most beautiful time of St. Mark's Square is when the tide rises, as if a huge mirror was laid on the square, so that all the buildings like inlaid in the middle of crystal or glass, appear more exquisite and exquisite, together with the colorful outdoor furnishings on the square, the people running and playing in shallow water, forming an extremely attractive picture. This kind of beauty does not belong to our visitors. Today, it is very satisfying to take a circle around "the most beautiful square in the world" and bring so many beautiful buildings into sight.
