Venice is a unique city in Italy, famously built on a group of 119 small islands in the Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea. Founded in 421 AD, it emerged as a refuge for people fleeing invasions after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The city is renowned for its canals, historic architecture, and rich cultural heritage. Venice became a powerful maritime republic, controlling trade routes across the Mediterranean. Its iconic landmarks include St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Rialto Bridge.
