How Venice Was Built on Water 1000 Years Ago | The Floating City’s Engineering Secrets

Venice, the city of canals, is one of the greatest engineering marvels in history. Built more than a thousand years ago on marshy islands where even standing was nearly impossible, the Venetians created a city that became Europe’s richest and most powerful trading hub.

In this video, we explore the fascinating story of how refugees fleeing barbarian attacks turned swampy islands into Venice—the floating city. Learn how wooden piles driven into mud still hold the city today, how rainwater was filtered into wells for drinking, and how a unique sewage system kept the canals clean. Discover the secrets behind the Rialto Bridge, Venice’s canals, and why the city is slowly sinking even today.
