Venice is a beautiful water city, built in the most impossible place-water. The amorous feelings of Venice are always inseparable from "water", winding water lanes and flowing blue waves. It is like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, and its poetry lingers for a long time. This city once had the most powerful manpower, material resources and strength in Europe. The history of Venice began in 453 AD. At that time, farmers and fishermen in Venice turned to this Adriatic island to avoid the cool nomadic people who loved swords. Venice looks like a dolphin. Its urban area is less than 7.8 square kilometers, but it is composed of 1 18 small islands, and 177 canals are as dense as cobwebs. These islands and canals are connected by about 40 1 bridge. The whole city is connected with the Italian mainland peninsula only by a long dike.
The way to build a building in Venice's St. Kyle Square is to first lay big stakes one by one on the underwater soil. This is the foundation, lay it firmly, cover it with boards, and then build the house. All the houses there are built in this way. So some people say that there are stones above Venice and forests below. In order to build Venice, all the forests in northern Italy were cut down. Such a house, don't worry about underwater wood rot, will not rot, and will become harder and harder, and will become stronger and stronger for a long time. Archaeologists have excavated Kyle before? In Polo's former residence, the excavated wood is as hard as iron, and only when it comes out of the water will it rot.
Venice's fertile alluvial soil, stones made of local materials, and boats made of wood from neighboring inland areas shuttle through it; In the mud, the ancestors built Venice on the water. This city, which is less than 8 square kilometers, is cut into more than 100 islands by more than 100 cobweb canals. The islands are connected by various bridges at will. When you first arrive, you will soon get lost in this "water city". Fortunately, there is an S-shaped Grand Canal running through the whole city. Along this so-called "the longest street in Venice", you can enjoy the essence of Venice without worrying about getting lost. There are nearly 200 palaces, mansions and 7 churches along the coast, most of which were built in the 14 to 16 century, including baifengting style, gothic style, baroque style and venetian style. All the building foundations are submerged in the water, which looks like an art gallery rising in the water. On weekdays, the Grand Canal is really like a busy street, and all kinds of ships shuttle through it. Of course, the most unique is gondola.
Venice has the Phoenix Opera House, great Renaissance and Byzantine architecture, St. Kyle Square, one of the most beautiful squares in the world, and amazing cloisters. Some of the most beautiful passages in antonioni's films were shot here. This is an important town in the Renaissance, which produced one of the most important painting schools in history: Venetian painting school; German music master Richard? Wagner died here ... the past glory and dreams of this city continue to this day through well-preserved buildings. Its unique atmosphere fascinates tourists, and all visitors to Venice are fascinated by it.
Each has its own merits, but I prefer Venice.
