How come Apache retrieves files from the `html` subdirectory when only `/var/www` is specified in `<Directory>` path

I have the following (default) <Directory> directive in my apache2.conf configuration file:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

and the /var/www directory contains only an html directory with an index.html file inside and no .htaccess (neither near or in the html directory). What default configuration value makes Apache give me files fro the html directory? I would have expected that the DocumentRoot (if nowhere provided) is the Directory path.

I am not sure which OS and distro you are using, but my Mint/Ubuntu has /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf which DocumentRoot is /var/www/html

Please check if you have the same VirtualHost
