Church of San Giacomo Apostolo (Saint James the Apostle), also known as Chiesa di San Giacometto, was rebuilt in 1225 and renovated in the 1500s and 1600s in Venice, Italy, Europe. Venezia is the capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 10th century BC. The romantic "City of Canals" stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s. The wealthy legacy of Venice stands today in a rich architecture combining Gothic, Byzantine, and Arab styles. Venice and the Venetian Lagoons are on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List.
