The city of Venice is situated in northern Italy and is known for being one of Europe's most beautiful and romantic cities. Venice was founded more than 1500 years ago and is the capital of the region Veneto. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea. All buildings are supported on slender oak and pine piles which are driven deep into the ground to create a solid foundation.
The main attractions in Venice are close to the square at San Marco. At very high tides the water level in Venice can flood the streets and squares. At that time raised walkways are used.
