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.
