How VENICE Was Built On Water - INCREDIBLE!!

For some reason, the YouTube video cuts off - if you'd like to see the full video -
its here on Instagram

Venice was constructed in the 5th century on over 100 islands in the Venetian Lagoon, using millions of wooden piles driven deep into the lagoon’s muddy seabed. These piles, often made from water-resistant alder wood, provided a stable foundation that, over time, petrified underwater and became as hard as stone.

On top of these piles, buildings were constructed using Istrian stone, a durable limestone that withstands saltwater erosion.

Venice’s canals, designed as primary transportation routes, reflect a sophisticated blend of Roman engineering and local innovation. Despite facing challenges like subsidence and rising sea levels, Venice’s unique construction continues to influence architectural and environmental strategies worldwide.
