Venice, located in the Veneto region, was founded in 5th century CE and located over 118 small islands. The initial settlement by humans on the small islands developed into a unique urban-scape of hydraulic and architectural interactions with the natural landscape. Venice grew to become a major maritime power in the 10th century CE. Concurrent with that rise, its buildings developed architectural masterpieces containing artwork by famed artists.
