THE SECRET OF VENICE-ITALY
Under Venice, the historic structures rest on thousands of wooden piles, mostly oak and fir, driven into the lagoon bed.
Although it may seem strange to build on logs immersed in water, this engineering method has proven to be extraordinarily effective. The brackish water, devoid of oxygen, prevents the wood from rotting, while its constant contact with water helps to harden it over time, transforming it into a material similar to stone.
This system has allowed the Venetian palaces to maintain their stability for over 2,000 years.
