	Just a few miles from mainland Italy, Messina has served as a gateway to the island of Sicily since antiquity. Over the centuries, the city has been influenced by foreign invaders and powers, and its architecture is a mix of old and new. In 1530 Malta was given to the Knights Hospitallers, who built a Christian stronghold and the capital, Valletta, behind whose fortifications you'll find Renaissance splendors that seem to be untouched by time. Ravenna is renowned for its preserved 5th-6th century churches and buildings filled with splendid Christian mosaics. A charming town, it also offers easy access to Bologna, famed for its cuisine, and the tiny republic of San Marino. Discover the magic and mystery of Venice, a city built entirely on water. Along the iconic Piazza San Marco, elaborate buildings attest to its splendor and elegance. But the city's character lies along crooked calli and across little bridges.</p>
