More about Venice.

Patron: St. Mark the Evangelist (buried there)

Origin: Refugees from northern invasions of the mainland founded settlements in the 5th century AD that were built uniquely on islands as protection against raids. Venice was a vassal of the Byzantine Empire until the 10th century.
