Description
Multiple photos are associated with this record. Please click the links to view all of the items in the series. The photos are of the rear exterior of the Venice State Archive in Venice, Italy. Venice (in Italian: Venezia) is a city in northeastern Italy that is built on a group of 126 islands separated by open water and canals, linked through 472 bridges. The historical island city is home to only 51K people, but a very popular tourist destination with about 60K tourists per day. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork. The San Polo district is in the heart of the main island of Venice, near the Rialto Bridge and the Rialto Market. The State Archive, in San Polo, contains most historical records of the Republic of Venice from 976 to 1866, when Venice became part of Italy; more recent documents are held elsewhere.
