Venice built on stilts made of larch which almost doesn't rot.
One of primary symbol of Venice is Bell Tower of San Marco. With beautiful architecture it was a beacon for sailors and watchtower. It stood over the 700 years and unexpectedly in one day it was felt and crashed. It happened at 1902 years. Nobody died except guardian cat.
Venice is divided into 117 islands which can be counted lanes 3000.
Every year Venice sinks. It happened because water level rises continuously. In Autumn water level rises so that the lanes squares first floor houses a fully flooded.
Venice is the Bridge of Sighs where to get a little well-read romance with their lovers and suddenly it turns out that sigh on the bridge entirely different reasons: a bridge connecting the courtroom and jail and this new bridge jailed last saw the light of the sun.
In Venice, people buried in the cemetery-island of San Michele. Periodically, every 7-10 years remains exhumation and placed in a columbarium. Thus freed space for others.
In honour of Venice called Venezuela. Travellers from Europe led by Amerigo Vespucci saw Indian houses standing on stilts immediately reminded of Venice and the country named in.
