| London -The City | St.Paul and the City | London | United Kingdom | English | To ramble is to walk wherever your curious feet happen to lead you, whether that's forcing yourself through a thorny bush and up over the crest of a mountain, or circling the perimeter of a metropolitan sewage works whose blank outlines on the map you've always found rather fascinating. Today, in broad outline, you're going to ramble the familiar beaten track taken by many a tourist but listen to off the beaten track info as we ramble into your ears of the heavenly towers and hellish pits of London's history, society and culture. And all the while an electronic eye, like something out of George Orwell's 1984, will be recording your progress. Yes you're now in one of the most monitored areas in the world and your movements will be caught on hundreds of cameras as you make your way from the high rise splendour of the city to narrow medieval streets of the east end. We are going to walk through the CITY. During this Audio Tour I am not referring to the city of London but to a square mile within London. This area is simply referred to as the CITY. This is the major financial capital of the world. The biggest banks and insurance offices of the world have an office here. They trade, loan, exchange, hedge billions of Euros, Yen and Dollars each day. A long time ago the beginning of the CITY was much humbler. It was a simple Roman trading post as you will find out during the tour. But as you ramble around remember that they drive on the right side of the road here, and not the wrong side like everyone else in the world. They do it because it's much easier to point a lance or a sword at someone charging at you if you don't have to lean over to the other side of your body to get a good swipe at them. As most people are right handed as opposed to wrong-handed it makes perfect sense to drive on the left and assume that the oncoming traffic might be the enemy. Good old-fashioned proper rules for good old-fashioned road-rage. |

Some 8,000 square meters of mediaeval mosaics, made from gold, semi precious stones and Venetian glass, covers the walls, and cupolas. Countless numbers of pilgrims and tourists alike have been awestruck by the golden magnificence of this, the largest and most lavishly decorated 11th century church. The Basilica has been a very significant holy place since the arrival of the sacred mortal remains of St. Mark in 828 A.D. Legend provides that two Venetian merchants stole the bones from the saint's shrine in Alexandria and then smuggled them out of Egypt in a barrel of pork - an unclean meat to Muslims and therefore unlikely to be inspected. Whatever the actual means, the arrival of the bones was the occasion for the building of the first St Mark's in Venice. They lie there to this day, where the faithful continue to visit to express their devotion to the saint.

| Great Discoveries "Personal Audio Guides" | Basilica di Santa Maria Novella | Florence | Italy | English | Great Discoveries audio tour of Santa Maria Novella provides tourists with the most entertaining and informative way to visit one of the most picturesque churches in Florence. Its name, Novella, or new, stems the fact that it was built on the site of an earlier church Santa Maria delle Vigne. Construction started on the sumptuous new headquarters of the powerful Dominican Order in 1278 and was not completed until 1360, almost one hundred years later. The basilica's interior is magnificent, with arches in two colors leading gracefully toward the high altar. It is vast, lofty, illuminated by ample sunlight and more Gothic in feel than any other church in Florence. Its architects were not content with its sheer physical size alone so they created a further illusion of space using an ingenious trick to deceive ones eyes. Looking from the back of the church to the main alter the distance between the columns diminishes while the arches get lower and the floor gets higher thus creating a deceptive tunnel effect, a perspective illusion that makes the 100 meter nave seem even longer. The interior's architectural grandiosity is further enriched by the splendor of its artwork. Treasures aplenty fill the interior, a groundbreaking painting by Masaccio, a crucifix by Giotto and three major fresco cycles. This carefully researched tour guides you through the Basilica while our professional narrator accompanied by historically appropriate background music points out and describes the most significant works of art and other historic treasures.
