Verona was once an important Roman city of northern Italy that still today offers visitors a wonderful insight into their history. The city is littered with Roman remains which are only rivaled by Rome. These include the city's centerpiece: the Arena, built in AD30, which is the world's third largest and still, is used for staging concerts and opera productions.
	Verona is split into two distinct areas. Firstly that of the area around Piazza Bra which contains the Arena, Castelvecchio and Palazzo Barbieri - the city's main municipal building. And secondly, the areas around the two squares of Piazza Erbe and Piazza dei Signori.
But Verona is perhaps most famous for the tragic story of two lovers (Romeo and Juliet) from rival families that was originally written about by Luigi ad Porto in 1524 before William Shakespeare made it famous 60 years later. The mere mention of the word "Venice" conjures up images of canals, gondolas and romance. Venice is one of the few city's in the world that can be truly described as unique.
	St Mark's square (the centerpiece of the city) is very busy with crowds of tourists taking it all in. And rightly so. The amazing facade, spires and domes of St Mark's basilica make it one of the greatest churches in the world. Inside, it's fairly dark which adds to the atmosphere that oozes history from all of the gold, frescoes and gems that make up it's interior decoration.
