Venice, capital of the Veneto region of northern Italy, occupies more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. The city has no roads, only canals, including the Grand Canal, lined with Gothic and Renaissance palaces. In the center, St. Mark's Square is home to St. Mark's Basilica, covered in Byzantine mosaics, and St. Mark's Campanile, with views of the red roofs of Venice.
