View of Piazza San Marco from the bell tower

I'm sitting on the sidewalk when the water level rises from December

The prison seemed to be treated well with a wooden board bed for 2 to 4 people, but there were also prisoners who lived their lives in the dungeon in the basement ... Besides, it seems that a prison like hell cannot stand and walk at a height of 90 cm. There is a secret tour and it seems that you can see it at a special price, but I do not want to see such a thing.

On the ceiling, paintings from the 1400s and 1500s overwhelm the viewer as if they symbolize wealth and power. The floor of the largest hall in the world is coated with marble in lime and lacquer. I was surprised to find that it was very elastic with a thickness of 7 to 15 cm on a wood foundation. There are parliament, administration, trial, and prison at that time.

As expected, a veteran, forgetting the tiredness of the attractive narrative tone and immersing yourself in the world of Venice. You don't have to line up in a long line wherever you go with your guide. Special treatment with discounts gives travelers a sense of superiority.

The residence of Doge (lifetime system) during the Republic of Venice. The inside looks like a maze and I have no idea where or how I am walking. "Yayoi Taguchi" who was contacted on the Internet. Only two Japanese license guides in Venice.

The view from above is really refreshing. A bean-sized human is moving around like an ant in the square. St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, cruise ship across the canal, A sighing natural painting from any angle. After all, there is nothing better than the Doge's Palace.

A thousand years later, it is still a majestic Italian building. From the top of the 100m tower, you can see the city of Venice 360 degrees. However, it collapsed suddenly on July 4, 1902 and was rebuilt after 10 years. It seems that you can now go up to the top floor with a bell by elevator.

It is a product from Greece in the 1300s. You can overlook the square from the balcony of the temple. The dynamic location is developed, but the view from the bell tower (96.8m) will not come true. The next day, take the elevator (12-seater euro) to the top floor at once. The temple cathedral that shines in the cloudless blue sky is really beautiful in the sunlight.

The painting inside is a mosaic of gold leaf (8 cm x 10 cm). If you look closely, you can understand the delicate technique well. The entire temple has four horse statues in the front square (157m x 82m). The original is on display on the 2nd floor. The horse body, which is made by kneading gold into copper, has a dynamic and powerful feel. Shooting is prohibited in the hall, but I pressed the shutter without thinking so beautifully.

Rialto Bridge in the center of the town. There are people on the bridge. White motorboat and black gondola. No matter how long you look at the luggage boats and vaporettos that go through the canal, you won't get bored. Visit the long-desired St. Mark's Basilica. The guide is Yayoi Taguchi. It's hard to understand what you see without a guide

A procession of Italians going to work in the open space early in the morning. Tourists from all over the world rush every day during the day. Eat lunch, ride the gondola, look at the temple and pull up quickly. At night, it becomes a walking square for tourists staying in Venice.

Marble salon, located in the most beautiful square in the world. Romantic melodies can be heard faintly from the three cafes. Involuntarily turn to the person who makes a sound. For a free concert while standing. I'm not the only one listening.

A bridge that crosses when judged at a palace and transferred to a prison, an alley-like slope ... I didn't notice until this was called the "Bridge of Sighs". A row of tourist cameras when looking from inside. It is a beautiful marble bridge from the outside, but I feel emptiness in the number of tourists taking pictures of this bridge. The tiredness of the tour and the cruelty of the time sighed at the graffiti left by the prisoners, the torture of the time, and the distortion of the sword with a vivid decapitation.
