The Mysterious Venice
    Venice, which is considered one of the world's most beautiful cities, was founded by refugees fleeing from barbarian invaders in the 5th century A.D.
    The refugees chose well. Venetians called their city the Bride of the Adriatic and proudly spoke of being wedded to the sea, for it was the sea that brought them wealth. With its strategic location at the crossroads of east - west trade, Venice grew into a great maritime power.
