ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
==first thing we saw was Palazzo Ducale (Doge's palace) it is an AMAZING Gothic palace. It was built between 1309 to 1324 and was used as the seat of government for Venice. It held the courts, civil administration and bureaucracy even the prison! As well as where the Doge (the leader of Venezia) lived!==

this is the view from the bell tower! I love this picture! One of my very favorites!
=But the most important thing I found today was............................................. THE GOLDEN LION! =
