The Grand Canal, with the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, designed by Baldassare Longhena in Baroque style, built 1631-87, Venice, Italy. Many of the houses and palazzos fronting the canals are in Venetian Gothic style, a style originating in the 14th century and combining Gothic lancet arches with Byzantine and Moorish influences. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
