Description
Venice is almost defined by its canals, with more than 150 waterways meandering through the city and traversed by over 400 bridges. Smaller canals crisscross the city and most originated as naturally occurring inlets and channels between the marshy islands of the Laguna Venezia. Buildings were initially constructed on pilings set into the layers of sand and clay and over time were fortified with stone and brick to create more permanent dwellings. The canals were gradually deepened and widened, being lined with stone to allow for commercial traffic as the city’s population grew, and the result is the maze of canals that make up the city today.
