Quite simply, there is nowhere else in the world like Venice: a city dating back over 1,500 years and founded in the 5th century AD. People fleeing barbarian invasions in northern Italy sought refuge in the marshy islands of the Venetian Lagoon and this settlement gradually grew and evolved into a major maritime power. By the 9th century, Venice had become a key trading hub between Europe and the East, especially after the relics of St. Mark were brought to the city in 828, which helped solidify its position as an important cultural and religious centre. It flourished during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, becoming a republic and one of the most influential powers in Europe. Today, Venice’s opulent grand lustre and elegant buildings are a relic of that powerful past - and the pride of people across the whole of Italy.
