Venice has 160 canals connected by 409 bridges It is built on wood poles from Cadore forests, in the Alps.

You can take waterbuses (vaporetti) and water taxis (gondolas) to explore the beautiful lagoons.

Venice is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Venetian island, Torcello was once the center of Venice. Today its almost abandoned. Aqua Alta (high water) is a common phenomenon in Venice.

gondolas must be painted black because of a sumptuary law passed by the venetian government

What are facts about the city Venice?

Venice was built in a lagoon, about 1,500 years ago when Roman citizens and former Roman legion members successfully got away from the invading tribes from the north. It is slowly sinking into the Adriatic Sea, and combined with global warming, Venice will probably not exist, as we know it, in just a hundred years or so. Venice houses the beautiful St. Mark's Cathedral. Gondola rides through the canals can still be quite romantic.
