An architectural wonder, this white and pink building is almost decadent. The white washed bricks, faded facade, and gothic architectre is still marvelous against blue skies. The Doge's Palace was once the epicenter of Venetian political power. This palace once served as the Doge's residence, who was the highest power in the past Republic of Venice.

Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy

It is equally jarring against cloudy gray skies, also taking on a gray undertone. Visitors praise the beauty and romance. The Bridge of Sighs is a white limestone bridge that connects the prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.
