Venice is one of the most unique cities in the world! π Here, instead of roads, there are canals, and instead of cars, boats float around! π€π¦ But how does this magical city stay afloat? π€ The secret lies beneath the water! ππ
Nearly 1,000 years ago, expert architects drove millions of wooden pillars deep into the muddy ground. π³πͺ΅ These pillars were made from special trees like alder and oak, which do not rot in water but harden over time, almost like marble! ποΈπͺ¨
π Venice has more than 400 bridges and 118 small islands, making it a truly unique and dreamlike city! ποΈπ° However, due to climate change, this city is at risk of sinking! πβ οΈ Engineers are working on modern solutions to protect it! ποΈπ§
π« Venice is not just a cityβitβs a marvel of human ingenuity! β¨ The next time you visit or see a picture of Venice, remember the hidden forest of wooden pillars beneath the water! π³πποΈ
