It is nice. Venice has always boasted excellent harbors that keep it safe from attack.

In fact, the only time Venice was actually conquered was when Napoleonic troops surrounded the city and demanded its surrender. The Republic had called an assembly to decide on whether to resist an inevitable attack, or to simply surrender without a fight. They chose the latter and the Venetian Republic simply ceased to exist in 1807.
