- Short: Venice, Italy 425x 599
-
-
- Close-up view of the Palazzo Ducale, Venice.
-
- The great elaborateness of the Doge's Palace is evident from close quarters.
- It reminded me somewhat of a giant wedding cake. Highly visible is the balcony
- on which the Doge would make his public appearances, and just above it is the
- famous winged Lion of St. Mark, holding an open book on which is written the
- words: "Pax tibi, Marce. mea envangelista".
