| Venice took many centuries to develop. During the Middle Ages, the town expanded its power and influence throughout the Mediterranean to Constantinopol. The Byzantine style flourished from the 6th to 12th centuries. The immense wealth of the city was celebrated in art and architecture, with sumptuous palaces and churches. |
