How was Venice built in water?

Why was Venice built on water? I know how, but I want to know why??

  • Answer:

    It wasn't intentionally built on water but on small islands in the lagoon. With the fall of the Roman Empire came hoards of barbarians who ransacked, pillaged & plundered... and the safest area for those on the main land close to Venice was the lagoon. The lagoon was easy to hide in and to protect from outsiders. A water culture developed over the years and people began to settle.

The people who founded Venice were fleeing from the Barbarians on the mainland in th 7th century. They saw a few small islands nearby and decided to move over there. The lombards didn't have boats, so they were safe. When they moved to the islands, they built a city called Venice.
