Marco Polo, the legendary Venetian explorer, embarked on an extraordinary journey in the 13th century, travelling overland through the Silk Road to the heart of Asia. His travels took him through the deserts of Persia, the mountains of Afghanistan, and into the vast empire of Kublai Khan in China. For over 24 years, Marco explored and documented the diverse cultures, landscapes, and wonders he encountered. His detailed accounts of the Far East opened up a new world of knowledge and inspired generations of explorers to come.
