 Venice is considered one of the most beautiful
cities in the world. The city buildings and the
decorations, from Byzantine to Renaissance styles
show great artistic achievement. The works of the
Venetian school are represented throught Venetian
palaces, public buildings and churches.
The center and the most frequented part of the
city is St. Mark’s Square. At the eastern end are St.
Mark’s Cathedral and the Doge’s Palace, the two
most important and imposing structures in venice.
 The Grand Canal, the principal traffic artery of
Venice, is lined with old palaces of the Venetian
aristrocrasy, among which are many structures of great
historical and architerctural value. Farther north, near
the lagoon,is the 15th-century church of San Giovanni in
Bragora,a domed and columned edifice in Italian Gothic
style and formerly the funeral church of the doges.
 The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival . The festival is
world-famed for its elaborate masks.
Masks have always been an important feature of the venetian
carnival. Traditionally people were allowed to wear them between
the festival of Santo Stefano and the start of carnival season at
midnight of Shrove Tuesday and it ends with celebration of Lent,
forty days before Easter. Maskmakers enjoyed a special position in
society, with their own laws and their own guild.
