在世界浩瀚的藝術(shù)和建筑殿堂中,有兩座城市總是令人神往:其一是意大利的文化名城、文藝復(fù)興的發(fā)源地 —— 佛羅倫薩,另一便是譽滿全球的“水城”—— 威尼斯。二者在世界歷史文化方面的地位可謂是舉足輕重的。

Venice must be one of the most beautiful cities ever built. As well as streets, there is a network of canals that provide transport around the inner city. These water trips provide some of the best views of the city, with its palaces, large private houses and over 100 churches.
Many architects have built and rebuilt Venice over the centuries, and many of the old beautiful buildings are still in use today.
Perhaps the most famous meeting place for Venetians(that’s what the people of Venice are called) and tourists alike is St Mark’s Square. The Square has been called “the drawing room of the world.” This is because it has been the scene of many of the most important religious(宗教的) and political activities of the region as well as acting as a focus for the social life of the city.
If you are an art-lover, then Florence is one of the best cities in the world for you to visit. It was the most important center of art and architecture in Europe for about 300 years beginning in the 14th century.
