![Venice (/ˈvɛnɪs/ VEN-iss; Italian: Venezia, [veˈnɛtsːja] (About this sound listen); Venetian: Venesia, [veˈnɛsja]) is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is situated across a group of 118 small islands[1] that are separated by canals and linked by bridges, of which there are 400.[2][3] The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Parts of Venice are renowned for the beauty of their settings, their architecture, and artwork.[2] The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a World Heritage Site.<br />
The buildings of Venice are constructed on closely spaced wooden piles. Most of these piles are still intact after centuries of submersion. The foundations rest on plates of Istrian limestone placed on top of the piles,[38] and buildings of brick or stone sit above these footings. The piles penetrate a softer layer of sand and mud until they reach a much harder layer of compressed clay.<br />
<br />
Submerged by water, in oxygen-poor conditions, wood does not decay as rapidly as on the surface.<br />
<br />
Most of these piles were made from trunks of alder trees,[39] a wood noted for its water resistance.[40] The alder came from the westernmost part of today's Slovenia (resulting in the barren land of the Kras region), in two regions of Croatia, Lika and Gorski kotar (resulting in the barren slopes of Velebit) and south of Montenegro.[citat](https://www.ruthburkeart.com/img-get2/I0000W.ZAOHemCpE/fit=188x188/fill=/g=G0000EWHcqZPke4g/I0000W.ZAOHemCpE.jpg)
