Island of Venezia, Italy. March 5/09 / This bridge is between the Doge’s Palace, where justice was meted out, and the prison next door. It is said that this was the prisoners last walk and sight of the outside world as they never came out again.

The Doge Palace in Venice remains an architectural work of symetry and beauty, and reflects the influence of different cultures through the centuries. This image captures the spirit of the times when Islam contributed to its richness.

The Doge Palace in Venice is magnificent from any angle one approaches it. This is on one of the porticos that looks out onto St. Mark’s Square.

Campanile San Marco and Doge’s Palace, Venice St Mark’s Campanile, the bell tower of St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, is located in a corner of St Mark’s square and is a recognizable symbol of the city. The tower is 98.6 meters tall, and is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. As it stands today, however, the tower is a reconstruction, completed in 1912 after the collapse of 1902. The Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale di Venezia) was the residence of the Doge of Venice. The current palace was largely constructed between 1309 to 1424, designed perhaps by Filippo Calendario. It replaced earlier fortified buildings of which relatively little is known. The palace was badly damaged by fire in 1574. In the subsequent rebuilding work it was decided to respect the original gothic style. Date: 27th August 2007.

Basilica di San Marco (Saint Mark’s Basilica), church in Venice that was begun in its original form in 829 (consecrated in 832) as an ecclesiastical structure to house and honour the remains of St. Mark that had been brought from Alexandria. St. Mark thereupon replaced St. Theodore as the patron saint of Venice, and his attribute of a winged lion in time became the official symbol of the Venetian Republic. San Marco Basilica, built beside the Palazzo Ducale, or Doges’ Palace, also served as the doge’s chapel. It did not become the cathedral church of Venice until 1807. The first basilica was burned in 976 during a popular revolt against the doge Pietro Candiano IV but was restored under his successor, Doge Domenico Contarini (d. c. 1070); the present basilica was completed in 1071. The plan is a Greek cross, and the building is surmounted by five domes. The design is distinctly Byzantine, and it is likely that both Byzantine and Italian architects and craftsmen were employed in the construction and decoration. Over the centuries, additions of sculpture, mosaics, and ceremonial objects have increased the church’s richness. The famed four bronze horses on the west facade gallery, for example, were brought to Venice at the time of the Fourth Crusade (1204) from Constantinople, where they had been part of a Greco-Roman triumphal quadriga (a sculpture of a car or chariot drawn by four horses abreast). Though originally placed in the Arsenal, they were set up in the mid-13th century on the exterior of San Marco. They were removed to Paris by Napoleon but were returned in 1815. The interior is decorated throughout with mosaics on gold ground and with many varieties of marble; the floor is of inlaid marble and glass. In the restricted light their colours glow. The screen separating the choir from the nave has marble statues, masterpieces of Venetian Gothic sculpture by Jacobello and Pier Paolo dalle Masegne. The Campanile, separated from the church, was originally begun under the doge Pietro Tribuno (d. 912). It was adapted into its present familiar form early in the 16th century. In 1902 it collapsed but by 1912 had been rebuilt on its original site. Photo taken on the Island of Venezia, Italy. March 5/09 A very rainy day.

On a recent trip to Venice, like everybody who visits the place I was amazed by the maze of back streets, the beauty of the place and it’s architecture.

Looking out over the Venice Lagoon this would have to be the best view from any prison in the world.

Tweaking the curves I brought out the clouds behind the Campanile. Such a massive building the only way to get it in the frame was to photograph it from the water on board a water taxi on the way to Murano Island :-)
