Venice and it's architecture

Palazzo Barbarigo, a house that impressed me the most,crossing the Canale Grande.It is located at the edge of the famous canale and Campo San Lio.
BTW :
-Campo means previous green area with a church
-Campiello is a small campo
-Corti stands for innerplaces of houses
-Calle means simply street, but whenever searching for a so called "Fondamenta" - it means a street next to the canales on wich fondaments houses were build.

Pros:"It's history - the urbanisation plan !"
Cons:"Overcrowed and touristic- mostly under reconstruction"
In A Nutshell:"Romantic city - if you like overcrowded area's !"

 Lovely photos of Venice. Did you bump into Romeo and Juliet when you were in Venice ;))

 Luc I love Venice, it was a pity we were there for only two nights, and one day at Burano Island. Next time we will stay longer. Your Venice page is great.

 The self service restaurant called Chat Qui Rit is worth a visit to see just how rude the cashier and manager can be. They are unbelieveable.

 I'm going back to Venice in March and I can't wait! But I think I'll skip your idea of going up in a balloon, and I'm afraid, the 1000 $ glass figurines will have to stay in the shop.
