Hello,
bloggers! Today, I am going to introduce the most important monuments and
places to see in three of the most important cities in Italy: Venice, Florence and Rome.
I will start with Venice.
As you know, Venice
is a group of islands separated by canals and joined by a lot of bridges. The
most important canal is the Grand Canal, which
crosses the city. In Venice,
people move in boats, gondolas or vaporettos (water buses) as there are no
cars, motorbikes or bicycles. One of the most important places to visit is the Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark’s Square) in which you can see the
Basilica, the Palazzo Ducal and some museums. Anther place that you can’t miss
when going to Venice is the Rialto’s Bridge. But the best thing you can
do in Venice is
walk through its streets and admire the beautiful buildings of the city.
Our next
stop is Florence.
Florence is also a very beautiful city, but in a
different way than Venice.
Florence is
important due to its architecture because in this city there are a lot of very
beautiful museums, churches and buildings.
There is also a very famous sculpture: the David of Michelangelo. It is
5.17m tall and you can find it in the Galleria della Academia. In Florence, you can visit
the Cathedral, which was built in green, red and white marble with a lot
of details. Another church that is very important and beautiful is Santa
Croce’s Church. Also, you can visit the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge),
which is one of the most known symbols of this city.
We end our
journey in the capital of Italy:
Rome. Rome is much bigger than Venice
and Florence
and it has many more things to see. One of the most important is the coliseum.
The coliseum is an amphitheatre, the biggest one that the Romans built during
the Roman Empire. As you visit Rome, you will notice that
there are a lot of fountains everywhere. The most important is the Fontana di
Trevi. A lot of tourists go there every year to throw a coin in as they make a
wish. Also, you can visit Vatican city,
which is not exactly in Rome,
but it is very near. There, you will be able to see Saint Peter’s Basilica,
where all the Popes are buried, and the Sistine Chapel, which has a lot of
beautiful paintings.
Finally, I invite you to visit this country and
don’t forget to eat a lot of pizza, pasta and ice cream.
What an interestic post! I love Italy, is one of the countries I would like to visit and it is great to know what interesting places you can visit in some cities.
ReplyDeleteI love Italy too. I like a lot Saint Mark's Square. The people from Venice, say that every person that goes into Venice pass at least through this square once. Italy is so beautiful! And I love the language, it sound really good.
ReplyDeletePS: This is a very interesting post.
This is a very nice and interesting post! As Paula and Carmen, I love Italy too. I'd like to live there in a future, however I haven't visited it yet! And that's other of the things I'd like to do. Now, with the information you've included, I'm sure I'm gonna visit some of the most well-known cities in Italy and their most important places! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, Italy is a fantastic country. However I am interested in one thing about Venice. Haven't people thown to the water or have any accident by people that fall accidentally to the water?, and, is there any dangerous animal in the water?
