Tag: Venice
Venice is a haven on a lagoon that is almost identical to what it was 600 years ago, which adds to its allure. Venice has deteriorated since its glory and is overrun with tourists, yet the romantic appeal persists.
It is also where composers Tomaso Albinoni and Antonio Vivaldi were born. The lagoon of Venice is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a quarter-million residents, it was formerly an autonomous republic and is now one of Italy’s most important cities.
Many islands in the Venetian Lagoon and a length of terraferma (mainland) in northern Italy make up the municipality of Venice. The most famous borough (known as Venezia Insulare) includes the ancient city of Venice as well as the islands of Giudecca, Murano, Burano, Torcello, Mazzorbo, and Sant’Erasmo. The comune’s other popular districts include Lido and Mestre.
Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce, and San Marco are the six sestieri (districts) in which the great monuments and landmarks are located. Each sestiere has its own set of house numbers, which are not assigned in any particular order.
