There’s no place quite like Venice, or Venezia as it is known in Italian. It’s a magical and charming city with a long and rich history. “It was the greatest seaport in late medieval Europe and the continent’s commercial and cultural link to Asia,” according to Britannica.
Venise a été "construite sur un groupe de 118 petites îles qui sont divisées par des canaux et reliées entre elles par des ponts", explique VisitingVenice.net. Son emplacement unique et magnifique la distingue des autres villes, tout comme son architecture et son art magnifiques.
This capital city of the Veneto region is magnificent with centuries-old architecture and roadways, or atmospheric canals that are lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces, beautiful bridges, and eye-catching islands. It is literally unlike anywhere else in the world and a hotspot for visitors.
