The palace's many restoration and restructure efforts make it a fascinating place to see. The 13th and 14th century prison spaces filled the entire ground floor of the eastern and southern wings. These cells were called "Pozzi" because of their dark conditions and isolation. They were also known as "Wells." In 1591, additional prison cells were built in the upper eastern wing. These cells were known as "Piombi" and were under a lead roof. Inmates included Giacomo Casanova and Silvio Pellico.

The Doge's Palace in Vienna is open daily from 8 am to 7 pm. You can visit the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana and Museo Correr for just EUR19 each.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Saipan

  Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam island are unincorporated territories of the United States in the Pacific. Anyone who has watched “Moana” will understand why this destination is worth the logistics. Russians no longer need a “standard” American visa to visit the islands – a declaration is filled in upon arrival at the airport , and the passport control officer stamps the passport. Saipan is the most developed island when it comes to tourism, and we stayed under a special offer in hotel Hayatt and it had its own beach , sunbeds and a beach bar. Everything you need for a quiet seaside (or oceanside?) holiday. And we got what we expected. There was a beautiful sandy beach and a wide turqoise lagoon, followed by deep waters. Mariana Islands are named after the eponymous Mariana Trench (it is about 11 kilometers deep). Swimming there gave me pleasure, mixed with some reverence, as the depth of 11 kilometers is not a joke, and vague thoughts about sea monsters getting out of the dept

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region
