You're looking for the layout (ie map) or the architecture?

Both  ;)

It seems the architecture is coming from Byzantium ...

Well, that's no surprise following on from their trade links and the Fourth Crusade

I Googled "Venice 1200" and it came up with the following:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=venice+1200&espv=2&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=F50qU9ynNdCThgeG-YCgBA&ved=0CC8QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=685#imgdii=_

Lots of crap, but some clues as to it's appearance in the 1200's

I like this paint :

It's Wisby !

I will melt this architecture and venitian / byzantium architecture for the religious and administrative buildings ...

I would also search Google Images (or whatever you prefer) for "Zadar" and "Dubrovnik" along with "13th century" with "architecture", "plan" etc.
