| Leaving the hotel, to your left you may admire the Scuola di San Girolamo, now Ateneo Veneto, an institute for the study of Sciences and Humanities. Directly opposite it stands Venice greatest theatre, La Fenice restored after the latest 1996 fire. The Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a Gothic construction dating from the 15th century of a unique external spiral stair chase in the form of a bolovo or snall. From San Moisč walking past of the top high fashion stores we came out "the most beautiful salon in the world", Saint Mark's Square. Saint Mark's Basilica. Shining with history, clad in its entirely gold mosaics, reflecting both religious and civic power. It reigns over the square with its Oriental domes, symbol of Venice's kinship with the East. The Basilica was erected in devotion to the body of the Evangelist Saint Mark, as instructed by the Doge Giustiniano in his will in 829. One year earlier the body of Saint Mark had been transported to the lagoon from Alessandria in Egypt. The Doge's Palace. This was the Doge's residence and housed the government and the State magistrature as well as the Prisons. We see it now in its restored state, completed between 1300 and 1500, after being ravaged by fires. It offers a splendid example of fully flourished Gothic style in the Porta della Carta, which one passes through to reach the marvelous inner courtyard. Here illustrious builders such as Antonio Rizzo have left their mark, along with the Scala dei Giganti where the Doges were crooned. |
