Houses in Venice, Italy are noted for their elegant facades facing the water. In this city without roads, guests usually entered by boat. The Byzantine style was popular in the 12th and 13th centuries. Houses of this period are noted for their ground floor arcades and arched open galleries that run the length of the "ground" floor.
