The photos were taken in the Royal Palace of Venice (in Italian: Il Palazzo Reale) in the San Marco district on the island of Venice, Italy. Venice (Venezia) is a city in northeastern Italy that is built on a group of 126 islands separated by open water and canals, linked through 472 bridges. The historical island city is home to only 51K people, but a very popular tourist destination with about 60K tourists per day. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork. The landmark of St. Mark's Square (Piazza di San Marco) is the basilica dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist and contains his relics. The church is sited on the eastern end of the square, the former center of the Republic of Venice, and is attached to the Doge's Palace. There are other important landmarks around this square, such as the Royal Palace of Venice, which is a complex that consists of the Marciana Library, the Archaeological Museum, and the Correr Museum (Museo Correr). The Correr Museum's items originated with Teodoro Correr, a passionate collector who bequeathed his collection to the city of Venice in 1830. The photos show "Angel comforting Saint Mark in prison," a panel fragment from the facade of St. Mark's Basilica. It dates to ca. 1300. | |
