Italy might be popular for their good food, ranging from pasta to pizza, but the country’s also worth visiting for its breath-taking structures built with classical elements, harmony and rich history.

There are quite a few architectural buildings and theatres that are worth visiting. Explore Italy once more through the gallery below:

Basilica di San Marco (Saint Mark’s Basilica), a majestic ecclesiastical structure that houses the remains of St Mark, can be found beside the Palazzo Ducale (Doges’ Palace). Inside, tourists will find the basilica adorned with mosaics on gold ground and marble and sculpture by Jacobello and Pier Paolo dale Masegne. | Photo by Raimond Spekking on Wikimedia Commons

The trulli in Alberobello are buildings constructed with corbelled dry-stone which is a prehistoric building technique that’s still currently used in this part of Italy. The trulli were made as temporary field shelters, storehouses and homes for agricultural labourers or landowners. This UNESCO Heritage Site dates back as early as mid-14th century. | Photo by Ricardo Gomez Angel on Unsplash

One does not leave Italy without taking a photo with the famous Torre Pendente di Pisa (Leaning Tower of Pisa). After many worked to straighten the tower, engineers expect it to stand tall and tower over enthralled tourists for 200 more years. | Photo by Palo Cech from Pexels

Teatro Farnese, a gorgeous Baroque theatre located at Parma, has a vast stage that makes each show—be it a concert, royal processions or for dancing—a spectacle. But perhaps what’s even more special about this theatre is its prominent proscenium arch found at the front of the stage. | Photo by Youflavio from Wikimedia Commons

Feel the presence of the Roman gods in Pantheon. Located in Rome, this historical temple was built by Marcus Agrippa around 25 BC. Feast your eyes on its 24-feet high bronze doors and 142-feet dome. | Photo by Gabriella Clare Marino on Unsplash

Villa dei Misteri (Villa of the Mysteries), which was once buried in ashes after Vesuvius erupted, was rightfully preserved. Today, many people will find ancient Roman painting on various rooms’ walls. | Photo by Raffaele pagani from Wikimedia Commons
