History - Art and Culture

Beautiful buildings and art can be seen throughout Venice. The lagoon city is itself a work of art. Beyond this, Venice hosts an unusually large number of art treasures. This is due on the one hand to the city’s exposed position and on the other to the prosperity not only of the ruling doge, but also the disproportionate number of wealthy citizens and noble families. Thanks to the commitment of the Doge republic especially in the eastern Mediterranean region and the close connection to eastern Rome you can also find lots of Byzantine elements in the city. These elements, among others, are the things that make art in Venice so unique
