In the early 15th century, it was a place for ships from the east to dock to pay taxes to customs. After many renovations, the customs minarets were built in 1677, and a small tower was erected on the roof. On the tower were two statues of slaves, holding a giant gilded skyball, a sculpture of the goddess of luck (Chucepe Booni in the 17th century), who stood with one foot and could turn with the wind to indicate that people would follow things, both at sea and in their careers Change and change. Very characteristic architecture, one of the hallmarks of Venice.

    The customs building in Venice also needs to be passed through the river. This building is also very good to visit the location x. The customs building is also a variety of styles. You can feel some simple things in this place, and it is also very interesting.

    The Punta della Dogana (Customs Building - during merchandise trade) is located on land between the Grand Canal and the larger Canal. The Art Museum is now inside the Customs Building, built in the 17th century. The building is difficult to describe, especially compared to the nearby Temple of the Virgin of Ankang, there is also a large sculpture, which is two Atlas slaves holding a golden ball, and the golden ball has a sculpture of Benoni's wealth, which rotates in the wind. The art museum is too modern for me.

    The customs building in Venice stands next to the Grand Canal. The white structure looks very bright, but it should not be visited inside. There is also a maritime museum next to it.

    The Venice Customs House focuses on the front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria. It is a quiet space offering stunning views, especially at night, as a trading center in the city during its heyday, and the exhibition records transactions from ships from all over the world.

    The location of the Venice Customs House is still very conspicuous. As the corner of the Grand Canal is extended narrowly, the building behind is mainly an ancient orange-red unified wall, making the white building in front with the golden ball at the top very eye-catching. It is also now home to a foundation, where strange exhibits are displayed, but it always feels not very well tuned to the atmosphere of the building
