The whole city is connected with the Italian mainland peninsula only by a long dike.
The way to build a building in Venice's St. Kyle Square is to first lay big stakes one by one on the underwater soil. This is the foundation, lay it firmly, cover it with boards, and then build the house. All the houses there are built in this way. So some people say that there are stones above Venice and forests below. In order to build Venice, all the forests in northern Italy were cut down. Such a house, don't worry about underwater wood rot, will not rot, and will become harder and harder, and will become stronger and stronger for a long time. Archaeologists have excavated Kyle before? 6? 1 Boluo's former residence, the excavated wood is as hard as iron, and only when it comes out of the water will it rot.

Venice is a world-famous water city, and its beauty is composed of water and bridges. Today, it is one of the cities in the world without cars.
The special scenery of the streets and lanes of Venice Watertown. Some waterways are narrower than hutongs in Beijing, so two boats can't sail at the same time, so they can only take one road. There are old houses on both sides of the street, and most of the bottom floors are residents' boathouses. Connecting the two sides of the street are all kinds of stone bridges or wooden bridges. They cross the street high and don't hinder navigation at all. Bridges and water streets in Venice crisscross. People use boats instead of cars and bridges instead of roads. Land and water tourists are woven, pigeons and seagulls are Qi Fei, which forms the unique life interest of this world-famous water city. Among many bridges in Venice, the most famous one is Rialto Bridge, which leads to the city center together with the railway station, also known as the commercial bridge. It is all made of white marble and is a symbol of Venice. The bridge is 48 meters long, 22 meters wide and 7 meters above the water. Both ends of the bridge are supported by 12000 stakes inserted into the water. There is a pavilion in the middle of the bridge, which spans the Grand Canal. Ships, large and small, only shuttle through the bridge opening in the shape of the sun. Rialto Bridge was built at 1 180. It was originally a wooden bridge, but later it was changed into a suspension bridge. 1444 In a celebration, the bridge was broken because it was overwhelmed. From 1580 to 1592, it was rebuilt into the present stone bridge. There is a floating pavilion at the top of the bridge, and there are more than 20 jewelry stores and souvenir stalls on both sides of the bridge. Venice has many historical sites, including 120 churches, including Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches. In addition, there are 120 bell towers, 64 monasteries for men and women, and more than 40 palaces built by water, all of which are very unique across the river. The buildings in Venice have different architectural styles, and the doors, windows and corridors of the houses are carved with exquisite patterns and patterns. Boating in Venice at night is unique. Every year, thousands of tourists come to Venice, Italy to feel its beauty, warmth and romance. Venice has a history of hundreds of years, and the construction of Venice began in 453 AD. Gondola's unique Venetian ship has a unique name-"gondola" (Italian "gondola", also translated as "gondola" or "gondola"). This light, slender and unique boat has always been a means of transportation for Venetians living in lagoons. According to 1094, its name comes from the first governor in the 7th century.
Gondola has a very long history. The 1 1 century was the most popular period in gondola. At that time, the number exceeded 10,000, but today there are only a few hundred gondola ships left in Venice. Although the number is only one twentieth of that of18th century, it is gratifying that small shipyards like San trova Suo are still making and repairing such ships, which makes this ancient Venetian tradition spread. Gondola has a variety of designs. /kloc-In the 6th century, the appearance of gondola was extremely gorgeous, and the nobles often used beautifully carved gondola decorated with silks and satins to show off their wealth. In order to curb this extravagant atmosphere, the Venetian Senate issued a ban: it is not allowed to put any decorations showing off family status on pointed boats, and the installed ones must be removed, and all gondolas are painted black. The only decoration left is the bow panel. This tradition has been maintained, and today's gondola is also a unified black, and it will only be decorated as a flower boat on special occasions.
There are two parts of this ship that can embody the imagination of craftsmen. One is a handsome bow, much like the six-toothed halberd used in 15 and16th century. (Each tooth represents a district of Venice), and the other tooth is Ionian Stern. By the18th century, the shape and size of this Venetian pointed ship will gradually be fixed to what we are today.
Today, this ship is generally10.75m long and10.75m wide. The flat bottom of the boat is asymmetric, and the balance of the boat can be maintained only by one side. Once upon a time, there was a movable roof in the middle cabin of a gondola to shelter passengers from the wind and rain. Some canopies have small windows and sliding doors. Later, this awning also disappeared.
Gondola boatmen now only wear striped tight knit tops and a straw hat. In the past, boatmen's uniforms were very strange and elegant. When rowing, the boatman stood at the stern, and a long single paddle was placed on the curved paddle rack. On weekdays, gondola is the main tourist boat, and the cost of taking gondola is relatively expensive, with an average of about 70~ 120 euros every 40 minutes. On the first Sunday afternoon in September every year, a Regata Storica, a traditional gondola boat race with a long history, will be held on the Venice Grand Canal. Venice regatta originated from 13 15 according to historical records. Palaces and mansions

The Sigh Bridge in Rezzonico Palace connects the Governor's residence with the nearby dungeon. There is a very famous bridge of sighs, which is one of the must-see attractions in Venice. Bridge of Sighs belongs to the early Baroque style. The bridge is in the shape of a house, covered by a dome, and closed tightly, except for two small windows by the canal. Sigh Bridge is an arcade bridge, which is built on the river between the governor's office and the prison and enjoys a high reputation. Built in 1600 (other materials: 1603). It was named after the condemned man passed by here when he was taken to the execution ground. When prisoners are tried in the governor's office, felons are taken to the dungeon and may die forever. In the past, condemned prisoners had to cross this closed bridge when they walked to the execution ground. They can only look at the blue sky through the small window, think of the family waiting to say goodbye on the boat under the bridge, and have mixed feelings. They can't help but sigh-going forward will say goodbye to everything in the world. It is said that lovers can kiss under the bridge forever. There is a legend that a man was sentenced and walked across the bridge. "Take one last look!" The jailer said, stop the man at the window. The window lattice is beautifully carved and consists of many eight-petal chrysanthemums. Looking down from the window lattice, the man saw a narrow and long gondola passing under the bridge, and a man and a woman were sitting on the boat kissing. That woman turned out to be his lover. The man frantically crashed into the flower window, which was made of thick marble and didn't break, leaving only a pool of blood and an angry body. Blood didn't drip from the bridge, nor did the roar come out. Even if you say it, the kissing woman can't hear it. The blood has been washed away, and the tragic story has been forgotten by most people. Just say this is the "bridge of sighs", the last look of the prisoner. Let's turn that tragedy into a comedy and call it a myth. The movie "Love Will Sunset Down the Bridge" was shot here. The Bridge of Sigh connects the Governor's Mansion and Venice Prison at both ends, which is the only way for ancient courts to escort death row inmates to the prison.
Sigh bridge port
Venice Port is one of the largest ports in Italy, with a length of 12km and a total area of 250 hectares. It stretches and is vast, with more than 10,000 ships entering and leaving the port every year. Venice is not only unique in scenery, but also a famous cultural city. As early as the Renaissance, the Venetian school of painting was unique. Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto and Willoni are all famous masters of painting. Venice also occupies an important position in the history of Italian opera art. There are many historical sites in the city, including 120 Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, 120 bell towers, 64 monasteries for men and women, more than 40 palaces and many beaches. Goethe and Byron both praised Venice, while Napoleon called it "a rare miracle city in the world". Bridges in Venice
There are 404 bridges in Venice so far. They have various shapes and styles. Some are like Youlong, some are like flying rainbow, some are solemn, and some are small. The most famous one is Liard Bridge, which is a single-span arch bridge made of marble and built around 1592. The bridge is 48 meters long and 22 meters wide. It once appeared in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare's great literary masterpiece The Merchant of Venice describes the story of Venice Bridge. For centuries, The Merchant of Venice has been continuously put into film and television by later generations, and spread all over the world in the form of drama and opera.
No vehicles can enter Venice, so all the means of transportation in the city are boats. There are fixed lines and stops like a bus, and you can rent a boat like a taxi. The unique means of transportation in Venice is an ancient sightseeing boat, which Venetians call "gondola" and is a unique "taxi" in Venice. "gondola" has a long and narrow hull with an inclined head and tail, which is most suitable for driving in narrow water lanes. The ferryman is very skilled in wearing traditional black and white clothes, wearing a red hoop straw hat and paddling with one paddle. Gondola's production is rigorous and exquisite: length 1 1m, width 1m and a half. It is made of oak board and painted with black paint seven times. It was full of six people, plus a boatman. Take the "gondola", with the melodious music of ancient accordion and other musical instruments, walk through the quaint ancient water city and admire the ancient buildings on both sides of the "street", and the scenes of daily life in ancient Venice vaguely emerge in my mind. It's a rare treat. If you go to the square again to enjoy an absolutely authentic Italian fast food, spaghetti or pizza and Italian beer, that kind of cozy and romantic feeling will arise spontaneously and make you more intoxicated! Carnival of Venice
Carnival in Venice is very famous in history. It was restored on 1979 and is now one of the four major carnivals in the world. When a person wears a mask, he loses his identity and gains freedom. He can be presumptuous and indulgent. This is why many people like carnival. It is said that during the festival, they will say to each other, "Hello, Mr. Mask." After all, there are not many tourists who can catch the carnival at Christmas. It is much more convenient to buy a mask, and it is not very expensive to buy a few small masks as souvenirs. There are also tourists who buy a clown hat and parade in the street, having a good time. Since you are in Venice, you might as well be presumptuous.
