How Venice Built a City on Water

The incredible engineering of Venice building houses on water defies everything we know about construction. While the city sinks 2mm per year and the sea rises 3mm, we discover how 10 million trees turned into stone at the bottom of the lagoon, why Italy spent €5.6 billion on giant barriers called MOSE, and how much time this impossible city really has left. From underground cisterns that purified water 1,500 years ago to 435 bridges built without solid ground - this is the most insane engineering story in humanity facing its greatest challenge.
