	In Venice, each individual island was founded with a church on the landmass. However, over time many of the ~~churches~~ were demolished due to neglect, suppression from the government, lack of support or catastrophic fire. At some of these sites there are clues that indicate that there was a ~~church~~ standing in the area in the past, but most of the evidence has been erased from the original location.		In Venice, each individual island was founded with a church on the landmass. Most of these churches were complexes that included convents and belltowers as well. However, over time many of the convents were demolished due to neglect, suppression from the government, lack of support or catastrophic fire. At some of these sites there are clues that indicate that there was a convent standing in the area in the past, but most of the evidence has been erased from the original location. This list of convents is incomplete, as there are not many public records about every convent in Venice.

	Convents in Venice were demolished for various reasons, but almost always they were a part of a nearby church complex. They were mainly removed to make room for modern urban expansion or military related use during the reign of Napoleon. For example, major projects including the public gardens and the Santa Lucia train station required the demolition of multiple religious buildings on the island. While Napoleon held control of Venice from 1797 to 1866, he demolished many of the smaller and less popular ~~churches~~ to use as barracks and military installations. Unfortunately, many of the ~~churches~~ at the time were in strategic positions for the Austrian navy, so they were converted and eventually demolished when the Austrians left.

	Most of the churches that were erased from Venice's land were demolished in the years between 1800 and 1830 when the Austrian and French governments were in power. This is illustrated clearly by the graph below which displays the percentage of churches demolished by each government in Venice.
