Virtual Rowing - Venice Backwards View - Italy
Rowing in Venice, Italy, is an integral part of the city's culture and history, reflecting
its unique relationship with water.
Venice's canals were constructed over centuries by dredging the lagoon’s shallow
waters and reinforcing the banks with wooden piles and stones. This created a
network of navigable waterways.
The main artery of Venice, the Grand Canal (Canal Grande) snakes through the city
in an S-shape, dividing it into two parts. It is lined with stunning buildings, palaces
and churches, showcasing a range of architectural styles from the Gothic to the
Renaissance.
Exploring Venice by its canals provides a glimpse into a way of life that has remained
largely unchanged for centuries.
