Grand Canal Greys p8



Rialto Bridge

We never really walked across it, but this is be largest bridge on the Grand Canal.



Ca' d' Oro.

House of Gold. I had to know this house inside and out for one of my tests in Srchitecture history. it was so cool to actually see it in person. It took a lot of boat rides, and tons of attempts to get this picture, because of the angle, or i would be sitting on the wrong side of the boat, etc. The stone work is marvelous on this building. You can clearly see the different levels of the home, each with a balconyto view the happenings on the Grand Canal.

Many of the houses were more colorful, but this one's classic white wedding-cake-lace-look makes a beautiful facade.

Santa Maria Della Salute

This was one of my favorite buildings in Venice.
