Ahhh, Venice, we've heard so much about you and your canals. Well, here is a typical canal in Venice, although many are bigger.
In these next two photos, you can see how, in this case, the water actually goes somewhat inside the building (even if this isn't typical).
Venice, like many cities in Italy, has some amazing churches. The second photo show a little more of the detail for the church just beyond the tower. The public is allowed inside, but no photography.
And across the water on Giudecca (island) are three churches by Andrea Palladio. Notice the use of classical architecture for the front facade (especially the second photo-Il Redentore which is known for its "perfect" proportions)
Il Redentore
(Next stop--Vicenza and more Palladio)
This a pretty interesting spiral staircase that is tucked away in Venice.
