The first three and four quarters fall
The first attraction is the Church of Frari, the full name is the Church of St. Mary, Glory of Frari. Yunluo saw this church in the guide. Titian's famous work "The Assumption of the Virgin" is on the altar. The ticket for this church is 3 euros. Yunluo asked if the Venetian tourist card is available at the window. She said yes, so she ordered a card to go up.
Then I gave a map, which showed all the churches that can be visited by this card, totaling 20, but they are all relatively small churches, and some areas are also very remote, so it is really not worth a trip to use this card. However, the churches in Venice are truly unique, and there are almost no repetitions in their style.
Every time I go to a place, it feels refreshing, so if I have enough time, Yunluo will definitely travel around every corner of Venice, and will never miss it! Then Yunluo and An Chuyu crossed the Academy Bridge and came to the near the Academy Art Gallery. This art treasure house treasures many masterpieces of the Venetian School of Painting. As a result, they were told that the cards of Yunluo and An Chuyu could not be used.
Of course, time was too hasty. I walked around to the Church of Our Lady of Ankang, a typical Venetian Baroque building. When the Black Death was raging in 1630, the Republican government decided to build this church to dedicate it to the Virgin Mary. When I walked to the front of the church, my feet were broken and I sat on the platform for a long time.
Looking at the Piazza San Marco, which is close to the other side of the river, the bus only has one stop to go. If you walk, Yunluo and An Chuyu have to go back to the Academy Bridge. In order to save the 10 euros boat ticket, it is pitiful to Yunluo and An Chuyu's feet that are on the verge of limit. Piazza San Marco is composed of the Duke's Mansion, St. Mark's Cathedral, and St. Mark's Bell Tower.
The new and old administrative residence building, the Napoleon Wing Building connecting the two buildings, the quadrangle bell tower of St. Mark's Basilica and the Library of St. Mark and the Grand Canal of Venice. Mar is the author of the Gospel of Mark in the Bible, and the Venetians regarded him as the patron saint.
According to legend, in 828, two Venetian merchants smuggled the remains of Jesus' Saint Mark to Venice from Alexander, Egypt, and built a church for Saint Mark in the same year. There was a mausoleum of St. Mark in the church. The cathedral was named after Saint Mark. The square in front of the cathedral was also named "Plaza St. Mark."
Piazza San Marco has always been the center of public activities for the political, religious and traditional festivals of Venice. The four cities that Yunluo and An Chuyu visited this time all have extremely influential iconic church buildings and squares. If you think you will be aesthetically exhausted along the way, you are very wrong!
Because, although these four churches are incredibly beautiful, they are all different from the outside to the inside, and each has its own unique styles. Yunluo, this Venice, feels that it is the most exotic. The moment you step into Piazza San Marco, Yunluo feels an extraordinary impact. In Italy, how many surprises do you have to give Yunluo and An Chu?
The Church of St. Mark is closed at 5 o'clock. Yunluo and An Chuyu started queuing at around 4:45 o'clock, so they just had a hasty tour. The appearance of the church can be seen in a mosque-like shape, with five round roofs (it is said to be Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul, Turkey).
This is a typical Eastern Byzantine art, and can be found in many Venetian buildings. The reason should be that Venice had developed sea routes at that time and was closely connected with Eastern Europe and Asia and Arabia. Therefore, it absorbed a lot of exotic elements. The entire church was Oriental Byzantine art and ancient Roman art.
The combination of medieval Gothic art and Renaissance art is a combination of various styles. When you walk into the church, you will immediately be blinded. The interior is from the floor, wall to the ceiling, and the interior is full of detailed Byzantine mosaic paintings, with themes covering the sermons of the twelve apostles, the Passion of Christ, the portraits of Christ and the prophets, and the saints.
These paintings are covered with a layer of shiny gold foil, which makes the entire church shrouded in golden light. No wonder the church is also called the Golden Church! St. Mark's Church was the private chapel of the Governor of Venice before 1807. This is the temptation of power! Unfortunately, due to time constraints.
Yun Luo and An Chuyu did not visit the most ornamental "Golden Altar" (charged) of the church. The golden altar is located at the end of the middle of the inner hall of the church. Below the altar is the tomb of Saint Mark. Behind the altar is a golden screen (paladoro) with a height of 1.4 meters and a width of 3.48 meters is placed behind the altar. There are more than 80 pictures depicting Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
The porcelain pieces that the disciple Marco acted. There are more than 2,500 diamonds, red and green gems, pearls, topaz, emeralds and amethyst to decorate on this picture, and they are extremely luxurious. Continue to be included in the next itinerary! The Duke's Palace next to Piazza St. Mark is the focus of this trip. I took a walk and admired the appearance of the Bridge of Sighs.
It is said that Yunluo thought at first that the prisoner had walked past the Bridge of Sighs and entered the prison. Later, when he entered the Duke Palace, he realized that the prisoner had no chance to leave the Duke Palace! He walked from the bridge to the prison. Looking at the bustling and joyful crowd on the bridge, this is truly cruel!
After swiping the QR code on the Venice card (16 euros if you purchase tickets separately), you will enter the Duke Palace. The Duke Palace is also known as the Governor's Office. It used to be a government agency and court, and it was also the residence of the Governor's Office of Venice. The current buildings were mainly built between 1309 and 1424. In 1574, the Governor's Office encountered a fire.
Severely damaged. The current building is a Gothic building built in the 15th century. The inner courtyard has a "giant ladder" built in the early 16th century. There is a huge sculpture of the God of War and the God of Sea on the upper part of the 30th level marble steps. There is a "golden ladder" in the building. It is named because it is covered with gold walls and ornate murals on the top.
The map hall, four foyer, conference hall, ten-person hall, veteran hall and large conference hall, etc. The interior decoration is mainly oil paintings and murals, with marble sculptures and wood sculptures. In the conference room of the Grand Reviewers on the second floor, Tintoretto's "Paradise" made by Tintoretto in the long and 7 meters wide, is based on Dante's "Divine Comedy". There are more than 700 characters in the painting.
It is known as the largest oil painting in the world. There are 7 seats in front of the painting, the Governor in the middle, and the 3 elders next to it. Go down the stairs and arrive at the "Bridge of Sighs" (Pontedeisospi), which is the one that Yun Luo and An Chu met outside. There are several small windows next to the passage to allow you to take a look at the outside world for the last time.
Then he walked into the null cell that was irreversible. He was really scared and almost finished his day's trip after leaving the Duke Palace. Yunluo and An Chuyu found a shop to taste the local specialty - cuttlefish noodles to be honest, and I really couldn't get used to it. Especially Yunluo, who rejects seafood, An Chuyu was very interested.
Desserts like Tiramisu are more suitable for Yunluo:) After dinner, it was dark, so I followed the navigation back to the hotel. An Chuyu said that it was basically right to follow the crowd when I got lost. Because many roads in Venice are paved with small stones, and the straight line distance looks very short, it is actually necessary to go around the east and west.
So the actual journey will be much longer. The fatigue of the previous few days has not yet dissipated, and today's trek has become the last straw that crushed Yunluo and An Chu's encounter. In short, Yunluo feels that after the first day of Venice, his physical strength and feet have reached their limits. It is comparable to the day when he went to Las Vegas last year.
A day off slightly relieved the fatigue that was already at the limit yesterday. Today I decided to make the most of the transportation! I started to use breakfast early. Although the rooms in Italian hotels were a little shabby, the quality of breakfast was excellent~ especially dessert! After dinner, I bought a 20 euro/day bus pass at the tourist service booth next to the train station.
Start the next day's journey to Venice! Speaking of Venice's bus routes, the complexity of the procedures is really dizzy. Yun Luo and An Chuyun studied the map for a long time before they could see the reason, but it was really a very fresh and incredible experience, super exciting. It is best to download a Venice bus route map in advance.
First, see which stop you take. Then you need to see the direction clearly, because the docking docks on the same route are different from the docking docks in the round-trip direction. After finding the dock, you will have the next boat to arrive on the sign. In short, you must be familiar with this on site. There are buses 1, 2, and 2 at the train station.
They all pass through the Grand Canal, with classic sightseeing routes! They just stop at different stops. Today, they are targeting Glass Island and Colored Island, and they have to transfer to the northeastern pier of the main island, so they took a few stops and got off the boat and walked over, and visited a beautiful little church! As mentioned earlier, the architectural styles of Venice are different. They will not be visually tired after a few weeks of visiting.
This is the case with this church, shining like a small pearl on the island. Its name is the Church of Our Lady of Miracles. Why does Yunluo particularly like it? Because everyone recommends paintings, sculptures and decorations for other churches, and there are not a large number of oil paintings or sculptures in this church.
The church itself is made of marble of many colors, not only the front door but the whole, but also the representative work of marble buildings. Perhaps Yun Luo is particularly fond of this low-key luxury. You can see the Medici Chapel that I missed in front:) I had lunch before leaving for the Glass Island.
The ordinary but authentic Italian meat sauce noodles have a very tender taste! A seabird pecks at cuttlefish and eats it with relish. After the meal, go to the pier to take a boat. The first stop is Glass Island! Glass Island is a world-famous production site for glass products. It has unique craftsmanship and is the most widely circulated glass qigong.
There is also a glass museum on the island. You can visit various glass products, among which the 14th and 15th centuries are the most famous. I personally think that the characteristics of this island are average, especially the glass museum is very scammed, it is a completely gimmick, and the itinerary is tight. When you come out of the glass island, you will continue to take a boat to the next station Colored Island.
A small episode happened in the middle, and An Chuyu forgot his backpack at the Glass Museum. Then he took a boat back and returned to the main island of Venice. In short, the situation is endless, and it is really troublesome to travel freely outside! According to your stomach, you finally stepped onto the Colored Island. The journey is relatively long, and it seems that it takes half an hour to go from glass to Colored Island.
Although it seems a bit wasteful of time, it is also great to comfort your tired body in view of being tired two days ago:) Colored Island is about 7 kilometers away from Venice, famous for its lace textiles and colorful houses on the island. It stipulates that residents on the island must wash the house once a year.
It is probably also for the development of tourism. The style of the water city is matched with colorful colors, which is like a fairy tale world. The island is also known for its lace, and most residents make a living by selling various lace crafts. When it comes to lace, it is inevitable that there is a little evil in their hearts, as if this word has been linked to temptation, sexy, **, and even bad careers.
In fact, real lace was a noble fashion in medieval Europe, both elegant and pure! Moreover, the craftsmanship of making lace is very sophisticated, which reflects the slow-paced life of the Italians, which is indeed very quiet. Visiting the lace museum on the island, it is as deceptive as the glass museum in front.
However, they are all included in the Venetian card that Yunluo and An Chu met. It can be seen that this card is quite pitiful. The colored island is very small, and they are basically here to take photos on a boat. The moment of stay is a bit extravagant compared to the long-distance trek. However, I personally think that the mms are still worth dressing up and taking photos.
A beautiful photo place that is hard to find in the world! After leaving Color Island and returning to the main island, Yunluo proposed to transfer to Bus No. 1 to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Grand Canal and return to the hotel. An Chuyu accepted it happily! By the way, I would like to emphasize the weather problem again, that is, Yunluo was frozen today! Because I was going to take photos at Color Island, I specially wore a skirt + black silk.
I put on a thin windbreaker. As a result, I was still patient during the day. At sunset, the wind whimpered after getting on the bus, and the cold was trembling, and my tolerance was completely at its limit. So I had to huddle in the cabin later. This was also the trouble today, which laid the groundwork for the severe cold after returning! The temperature after 555 must be considered seriously!
Because the No. 1 bus is a tourist route and the stations are very dense, Yunluo and Anchu were stuck on the Grand Canal for a long time until they were hungry and finally got to the shore. After the docking, they looked back at Venice in the twilight again. The postcard-like feeling will always be imprinted in memory, and they will farewell to Venice. The dream city.
Yunluo will definitely come back! An Chuyu suggested packing it back to his room for dinner! It was awesome. The shop next to the hotel bought wine, ice cream, and pizza and returned home with a full load! A full meal, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
My friends have received an ordinary fashion capital, Milan, but Yun Luo has a special liking for the shape of the Milan Cathedral. In addition, there is another special expectation, which is what kind of visual impact will Yun Luo bring to "The Last Supper" by Yun Luo abandoned the powerful force of the world.
If Rome and Florence feel that the itinerary is quite full and time is still sufficient, then Venice has not had enough fun! In fact, if you insist on talking about the attractions, it is roughly considered to have arrived, but Yunluo really thinks that Venice is such a beautiful city, even if Yunluo takes a vacation here for a month, it would not be too long.
Just think about the exquisite figure passing by the delicate gondola when you walk on a small starry island, crossing the intertwined river. And the cultural treasure that is everywhere and may surprise people at any time, you can't help but be fascinated again! It is always inevitable that parting will happen. Before entering the station, I looked at the Grand Canal reluctantly again.
Yunluo will definitely come back! When boarding the train to Milan, a melody echoed in Yunluo's mind, which was Hu Yanbin's "Roman Holiday". It sounds very nice, and the lyrics are very consistent with the mood at that time: "On the train to Milan, Yunluo watched you sleep." Now, when you recall it, the scenes of the itinerary will always appear.
Yunluo originally booked the train ticket from Venice to Milan on Ctrip, but found that he had bought a ticket from the inland station, so he turned it off before he left (because the full price ticket can be refunded 80% of the fee). He bought a ticket from the main island train station on the ticket machine at Florence. The Yitien train is really much more luxurious than the two italo trains I took before!
The full price is also worth it! Milan is relatively relaxed and the transportation is convenient, so Yunluo has decided on a European chain of four-star hotels called nh. The conditions should be considered the best one in this trip. The price is not expensive, so you have to drag a box from the train station for a while. Milan Railway Station itself is a attractions.
It has a long history and is quite artistic. For Milan, Yunluo is roughly prepared for it, just a modern city, so he did not expect any surprises. But in fact, his feelings are quite quiet and peaceful than the dusty Dasihai City. He especially likes the tram here.
Luo and An Chuyu bought a single-day transportation card at a convenience store, which is very convenient. The hotel we checked in is not far from the train station, so Yun Luo and An Chuyu dragged their luggage directly to. The hotel we checked in is a four-star hotel in Europe called nh. It feels similar to the domestic holiday hotel, which is average.
However, it is also the best hotel in the ** silk tour that Yunluo and An Chuyu have settled down. After settling down, Yunluo and An Chuyu had a meal next to the hotel and couldn't wait to rush to Milan's landmark, Milan Cathedral! The church can be found everywhere on the Internet, but when you really walk out of the subway station and come into view.
The visual impact is still unimaginable. The Italian church has an incredible magic, which makes people sigh at the greatness of mankind. Because Milan is about to hold a World Expo, the top of the church is still under construction, which is slightly disgusting:) The interior of the church is relatively simple and similar to the style of the Virgin Flowers.
Chapter completed!
