Glass Making Island

by freya_heaven - last update: May 23, 2004

We visited Murano on a beautiful, Sunny but freezing cold day. We got there only minutes before the glass blowing factory closed & we didnt have long until the ferry we wanted to get on next departed. Although my time there was probably less than an hour (Its is very small!), I have great memories of it.

Murano is known for its glass and crystal which has been made here since the 10th century.

 Glad you at least had a short visit here. I am sure you could have spent hours. I know I could. I love Murano paperweights.
