This has got to be the most picturesque city ever.

The water city is built on long wooden piles made from oak and intertwined with canals

I didn't understand what you meant here, but then I searched a bit and found an ilustration.

Holy cow! Is it possible that the city is sinking over time? With the heavy weight over sand. Interesting.

Sort:  

Unfortunately, the city has been sinking for several years 😪. Locals told us, that because of sea level, the lower parts of buildings are no longer liveable. The city is maintained all the time,....they even built huge sluice gates to hold back the sea at high tide,.....for more info browse for "MOSE project". Thanks for stopping by!
