Venice is one of the few cities in the world that can be truly described as unique. It survives against all the odds, and regularly subject to floods during the winter. During the Middle Ages, under the leadership of successive doges, Venice expanded its power and influence throughout the Mediterranean to Constantinople. The immense wealth of the city was celebrated in art and architecture throughout the city.The riches of St. Mark's alone bear witness to Venice's position as a world power from the 12th to 14th centuries.Today Venice has found a new role. Her Palazzi have become museums and her convents have been turned into centres for art restoration.More than 12 million visitors a year succumb to the magic of this improbable place whose "streets are made of water" and where the glories of the past are evident at every turn.
