Venice is situated across a group of 117 small Islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges.

About Venice

Venice is a metropolitan city in Italy which boasts of a population of more than 2 million people. Its patron saint, like the rite of many other European cities, is St. Mark the Evangelist. They celebrate his day on the 25th of April every year. Venice, as a whole, is separated by canals and linked by bridges. These are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay which lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. These rivers occupy a very significant place in the culture and history of Venice. Parts of Venice are also extremely renowned for its beauty, its picturesque settings, stellar architecture and classic artworks. The lagoon and the majority part of the city are listed as a World Heritage Site. Flights to Venice are a great idea no matter who you are travelling with. It is also a superb option for solo trips where you can indulge in a bit of soul searching.

The name of the city of Venice is derived, supposedly, from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region during the 10th Century BC. The city was historically known as the capital of the Republic of Venice. It has also been known by a variety of names over the years such as La Dominate, City of water, City of masks, City of Bridges, Queen of the Adriatic, The Floating city and the City of canals which is perhaps the most apt of them all. Venice has its own charm with its rustic alleyways which scream of old world charm. It is very difficult not to be impressed with the way it functions every day.

The city of Venice is also known for several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period which gave rise to one of the most famous periods of all time, which witnessed the rise of a cult of artists who changed the art scene of the world with their work. After the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire until it became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, following a referendum held as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence. Venice has almost always played a very important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music and is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.

From the 9th to the 12th Century, Venice started to gradually develop as a city state. Its strategic position at the head of the Adriatic made Venetian naval and commercial power almost invulnerable. The city became a flourishing trade center between Western Europe and the rest of the world with a naval power protecting sea routes from potential invaders. Although, the people of Venice are largely orthodox Roman Catholics, the State is well known for its freedom from any kind of religious fanaticism and holds the record of no executions during the Counter Reformation. The city has a very unique style of buildings which are found nowhere else in the world.

They are built on closely spaced wooden piles. Most of these piles have still remained intact after centuries of submersion. The foundations rest on plates of Istrian limestone placed on top of the piles and the buildings that are made of brick or stone, they are made to sit atop the limestone footings. What the piles do is, they make sure that they penetrate a softer layer of sand and mud until they reach a much harder layer of compressed clay.
