Description
View of gondolas and Santa Maria della Salute church from St. Mark's Square at dusk under a vibrant sunset.
Gondolas in some form have been plying the canals of Venice for at least the last 1000 years. The first mention of them is in a letter dating back to 1094. In the 15th century they appear in paintings. Over the subsequent centuries they evolved into their present form.
The church in the background was built from 1631 to 1687. Over 1.1 million wooden piles were driven into the ground over the course of over 2 years to support the building.
