The Grand Canal in Venice is iconic.
We can probably thank Francesco Guardi for that.
He began sharing its beauty in the 1700’s.
No wonder it’s a tourist mob scene these days!
The buildings in Venice date back to the 1300’s, when the
city was at its peak.
Venetian Gothic Architecture is a confluence of the Gothic,
Byzantine and Islamic styles.
The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987,
and is sometimes referred to a living museum.
But recently a renovated mansion – the Palazzo Dario was
listed for sale.
Unfortunately, it may be cursed.
