VENICE - ITALY: SAINT MARK'S SQUARE YOU CANNOT MISS!

VENICE - ITALY: SAINT MARK'S SQUARE YOU CANNOT MISS! VENICE! SAINT MARK’S SQUARE! THE VERY HEART OF THE OLD TOWN! WITH THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF VENICE YOU CANNOT MISS! LET’S BEGIN FROM THE SAINT MARK’S BASILICA, ASTONISHING CHURCH THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKING SAINT MARK'S SQUARE FOR ALMOST A 1.000 YEARS. IT IS GOLD-PLATED AND HAS BEAUTIFUL MOSAICS THAT TELL THE STORY OF VENICE. YEAH, I KNOW, SUPER CRAWDED PLACE, AND UNFORTUNATELY NO PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ALLOWED INSIDE THE BASILICA, BUT IT’S A MUST OF VENICE YOU CANNOT MISS! FROM THE TERRACE OF THE MUSEUM OF THE BASILICA YOU HAVE AN AMAZING VIEW OVER SAINT MARK'S SQUARE AND THE DOGE'S PALACE, ONE OF THE BEST MUSEUMS IN VENICE WHERE YOU CAN ADMIRE GREAT PIECES OF ART AND THE STUNNING ROOMS OF ONE OF THE LANDMARKS OF VENICE! FROM THE PRISONS OF THE DOGE'S PALACE A NARROW HALLWAY LEADS TO THE WELL-KNOWN BRIDGE OF SIGHS, WHOSE NAME REFERS TO THE SIGH OF THE PRISONERS LOOKING OUT AT THE VENETIAN LAGOON FOR THE LAST TIME BEFORE THEY WENT TO JAIL. SAINT MARK'S BELL TOWER, ONE OF THE TALLEST IN ITALY! ANOTHER ICON OF VENICE YOU CANNOT MISS! FROM UP THERE THE PANORAMA OF VENICE AND ITS LAGOON IS AMAZING! AND THERE ARE ALSO INTERESTING STORIES TO TELL! IN THE EARLY 1600'S IT WAS POSSIBLE TO SEE THE DISTANT OBJECTS AS THEY WERE CLOSE THANKS TO SOME SPECIAL GLASSES. WE ARE IN 1609, GALILEO GALILEI IS THINKING ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE THIS GLASSES AND HE HAD A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA! HE CREATED THE FIRST TELESCOPE IN HISTORY! FROM SAINT MARK'S BELL TOWER HE WANTED TO SHOW THE BENEFITS HIS INVENTION COULD GIVE TO THE REPUBLIC OF VENICE IN THE MILITARY FIELD. BUT HE ALSO WANTED TO USE HIS TELESCOPE FOR SCIENTIFIC AND ASTRONOMICAL PURPOSES, SO RIGHT FROM SAINT MARK'S CAMPANILE HE POINTED HIS TELESCOPE TO THE SKY TO LOOK AT IT, AND HE DISCOVERED MANY THINGS ABOUT THE MOON, ABOUT JUPITER, ABOUT THE MILKY WAY, THIS MEANS HE CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO THE UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE! WELL, WHETHER YOU LOOK AT THE STARS I CAN ASSURE IT'S A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF VENICE! #venice #saintmark #italy
