Venice

Venice has served as a maritime trading republic in Veneto since the early Middle Ages. Spread across islands in the Venetian Lagoon, between the Italian mainland and the Adriatic Sea, the city is shaped by waterways rather than roads, with the Grand Canal as its central route. Piazza San Marco brings together the Basilica di San Marco and the Doge’s Palace, the former Republic of Venice’s political and ceremonial centre. The stone Rialto Bridge, completed in the late 16th century, crosses the Grand Canal near the historic commercial district.
