Doge's Palace
No ranking of the main sights in Venice is without this majestic and extremely ornate building. It was built, reconstructed and decorated for over a hundred years. After all, this is where the rulers of Venice lived, which means this palazzo should demonstrate the wealth and grandeur of the Venetians with all its appearance. Like most local landmarks, the palace is a symbol of eclecticism. Many styles are intertwined in its architecture, with Gothic, Moorish, and Byzantine influences most noticeable. The palace now houses a museum.

The Island of San Giorgio Maggiore
The question of where to go in Venice on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore usually does not arise. Its main attraction is the church of the same name. In the 10th century the island became the property of the Benedictines, they built a temple and a monastery, which were destroyed by an earthquake in the 13th century. And only by the beginning of the 16th century there was a new church built in Renaissance style, it is located on the island to this day. When you visit, it is definitely worth seeing the inside walls, which are decorated with works by Tintoretto, particularly "The Last Supper" and "Manna of Heaven."

Cathedral of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari
The Frari Basilica and its 70-meter bell tower in Piazza San Polo
The temple appeared in the city in the 14th century, in its architecture it, like many sights in Venice, combines several styles at once, the main ones being Gothic, Venetian and Byzantine. Wealthy Venice invited the best at the time masters to decorate the interior of the cathedral. Many tourists know that in this cathedral in Venice you can see the painting "Madonna Pesaro" by the brilliant Titian and the sculpture of John the Baptist by the great medieval master Donatello.

Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute
Everyone who has been to the "city on the water" has seen it. Because it is impossible to visit Venice and not look at St. Mark's Square, where it is located. The history of the temple is quite sad. In the 17th century, there was raging plague in the city, the epidemic was so strong that it had taken lives of one third of Venetians, and the church was built in gratitude to God for saving Venice from this disaster. It took almost 50 years to build the cathedral.

St. Mark's Cathedral
Quite an original example of ecclesiastical architecture, which does not prevent it from being one of the main attractions of Venice. It is very difficult to describe the cathedral briefly - it has a rich and unusual history. First of all, unusual for Western Europe, the main style of the cathedral is Byzantine. But due to the fact that Venice has always been an open trading city, the main word in the description of the main Venetian cathedral is eclectic.
The best of what came into the city - ideas, trends, craftsmen, and goods - were applied here. For example, where else can you find statues of horses above the church entrance? Look closely, and you'll see many more unusual things in St. Mark's Cathedral. Guides in Venice are happy to describe to tourists how this or that element appeared in the interior or architecture of the Catholic Church. But the main pride of the cathedral - there are the relics of St. Mark, brought by crusaders in the 10th century, a century before construction of the cathedral began. It lasted, by the way, until the end of the 15th century.

St. Mark's Square
If the question arises as to what to visit in Venice, this square is sure to be on the "Mast Visit" list. The city's calling card, St. Mark's Square is one of Italy's main landmarks. It is where the best sights of Venice and the most iconic events of this city take place. And it begins with two majestic columns on which statues of the apostle Mark and the winged lion are perched.

Grand Canal
The largest and most beautiful canal in the city. You could say its central avenue, which is 4 km long. When viewed from a pleasure boat, the views are truly postcard-perfect - colorful mansions, solemn palazzos, beautiful cathedrals. And the views of the canal, which runs through the entire city, are also very picturesque.
As tourists travel along the Grand Canal, they can see what else to see in Venice and where to go first.
