The canal reflects the intricate details of the surrounding classic European architecture, including multiple ornate Venetian buildings with red tile roofs, arched windows, and balconies that line the water's edge. Some buildings feature lighter stone facades with intricate carvings and white balustrades. People, dressed in traditional attire from an earlier era, are scattered along the paved sidewalks, some conversing in groups, others walking, and one figure in a hat with a stick in hand stands near a gondola.
