le porte e finestre di Venezia

On my recent (second) trip to Venezia, I couldn't help noticing the amazing doors and windows of the city on the water.... here are some that I found irresistible...

Venezia

 First.. check the map!

 Venezia- a city that spans 117 islands... too beautiful to spin words about- incredible city with a lot of character and hard to leave.....

 

Rialto Bridge... and below the view onto the Grand Canal.. the bridge links the districts of San Marco and San Polo...

 

 

Piazza San Marco in Venice, with St Mark's Campanile and Basilica in the background 

 

Typical view on the Grand Canal......
