Gallerie dell'Accademia (sorry about the dark photo- it was getting late when I snapped this shot). The greatest collection of Venetian art in the world. If you're a fan of artists like Titian, Carpaccio, Tintoretto, Veronese and Tiepolo then you must visit this museum.

What a marvelous fusion of East and West! St. Mark's is the heart and soul of Venice and has been since its original consecration in AD 832. It burned down a century later, but was rebuilt in the 11th century. At the time, Venice recognized Byzantium as the world's cultural mecca and as a result, the architecture of the basilica reflects a decidedly eastern model. The interior is simply breathtaking, adorned by art by greats like Tintoretto and Titian. Gold seemingly glitters at every turn and the church is laid out in the shape of a Greek cross and topped by five beautiful domes.

The five glorious domes of San Marco. I took from the freezing heights of the campanile. The wind was so strong that the wind chill was bitter cold, but the overcast skies resulting in interesting black and white photos.

A tower stood here for 1000 years, but then it mysteriously fell in 1912. Fortunately, the Venetians rebuilt their tower according to the original tower's plan. The views from the top are priceless (even if it's freezing up there in the winter).

As you can see from this picture, St. Mark's Square isn't actually square. It fans out and widens at the end closest to the church which creates the illusion that the space is larger than it really is. The buildings surrounding the square include the Museo Correr and the Biblioteca Nazionale Sansoviniana, but what you'll probably remember most about the square is the pigeons! Thousands of them flock here and offer some great photo opportunities.
