Venice is world-famous as the "city of a thousand bridges". The Italian city was built on countless wooden piles, so that the various parts of the city are surrounded by water. Probably the most famous waterway in the metropolis is the Grand Canal, which winds its way through the area in an S-shape. Hundreds of ships bring people from one side to the other every day or serve as excursion boats for many tourists. The Grand Canal flows past pompous buildings and palaces from the Italian Renaissance and offers visitors a wonderful view of the city's architectural gems. The Chiesa dei Santi Geremia e Lucia is located in the Cannaregio district, at the confluence with the canal of the same name. From the Grand Canal, the beautiful apse of the church (rebuilt in the 19th century after a fire) and the campanile are clearly visible. The church tower of San Geremia is one of the oldest of its kind in Venice. In front of the church is Campo San Geremia and Palazzo Labia. The palace was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the Spanish noble family Labia. Today it is home to Italy's broadcasting company (RAI), which maintains a base here.
