Venezia City Guide
Italia Venezia City Guide
Venezia was founded fifteen hundred years ago on a cluster of mudflats in the centre of
the lagoon, Venezia rose to become Europe's main trading post between the West
and the East, and at its height controlled an empire that spread north to the
Dolomites and over the sea as far as Cyprus. Venezia wealth increased and its
population grew, the fabric of Venezia grew ever more dense. Very few parts of
the hundred or so islets that compose the historic centre are not built up, and
very few of its closely knit streets bear no sign of the city's long lineage.
Even in the most insignificant alleyway you might find fragments of a medieval
building embedded in the wall of a house like fossil remains lodged in a cliff
face.
