Venice full of water

 

The floating city of Venice, one of the most extraordinary cities in the world was built on 118 islands in the middle of the Venetian Lagoon at the head of the Adriatic Sea in Northern Italy. ... It seems impossible for such a grand city to be floating in a lagoon of water, reeds and marshland.

When we say "driving in Venice", what we really mean is "driving around Venice" because there are no cars allowed in the city at all. With an intricate network of canals, there's no room for passenger cars, so park your car and do all of your sightseeing in downtown Venice on foot.The water in Venice is piped in from the mainland. The water originates from an area famous for bottled water found 30 km from Venice. And the central part of it begins from underground wells 300 meters deep, completely protected from human activities.
