Canal Venice
Vacationing in Venice
Always one of the most visited cities in the world, Venice is a must visit for any traveler. Located in northeast Italy, Venice is most famous for its canals and waterways that dissect the city. Made up of 116 islands and 409 bridges, Venice will continue to surprise the traveler around every corner of the city.
Flooded with architecture unlike that found anywhere else on earth, Venice will amaze even the most experienced of travelers. The first must on a list of things to do in Venice is to visit St. Mark's Basilica. The huge basilica dates back to the 9th century, being lavishly rebuilt in 1063. The art and mosaics inside and around the building will amaze, capping off with the highlight of the Basilica being the golden screen behind the altar where St. Mark is supposed to be buried. Even the pavement upon which you walk is elaborate, being a mosaic of glass and marble.
The next stop on a trip to Venice should be the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace). Located in St. Mark's Square, the palace will likely be one of the most beautiful buildings you will ever see. With construction beginning in the 9th century, the architecture showcases the different styles incorporated into the building's unique design throughout the years. The most obvious of these periods is the Renaissance, with most of the art and design taking on this style.
After visiting St. Mark's Square and all it has to offer, one should make a point of visiting Rialto Bridge. This bridge was once the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot, up until 1854. The bridge itself is a work of art, being designed by Antonio de Ponte, who beat out other proposals from Michelangelo and Palladio. The bridge offers the best view of the Grand Canal, which bisects the city into two halves.
A trip to Venice wouldn't be complete with a Gondola ride down one of the many canals of the city. A ride down the Grand Canal is recommended, as you will experience the best of what Venice has to offer. The buildings along the river exude fantastic architecture and will amaze you as they seem as though they could all just topple over into the canal, but always seem to hold their ground.
Don't miss out on this exciting city. Contact 1800FlyEurope and a flight to Venice today and save money on a trip of a lifetime!

When was the Grand Canal in Venice Italy built?
For a school project! 
The Grand Canal probably follows the course of an ancient river (maybe a branch of the Brenta) flowing into the lagoon. Adriatic Veneti groups already lived beside the formerly-named "Rio Businiacus" before the Roman age. They lived in stilt houses and on fishing and commerce (mainly salt). Under the rule of the Roman empire and later of the Byzantine empire the lagoon became populated and important, and in the early 9th century the doge moved his seat from Malamocco to the safer "Rivoaltus".
Increasing trade followed the doge and found in the deep Grand Canal a safe and ship accessible canal-port. Drainage reveals that the city became more compact over time: at that time the Canal was wider and flowed between small, tide-subjected islands connected by wooden bridges.
