Learn about Venetian Architecture

The subject of the WEA's 10-week spring course is 'Architecture of Venice' .  The name is enough to conjure up thoughts of romance, intrigue and nostalgia.   Standing at the crosssroads of East and West, its buildings reflect the diverse and many influences which have effected its development.  We will explore its architecture and art from early Christian times to the present day.
