St. Mark's Basin Live Cam

The St. Mark's Basin is a body of water located in Venice, Italy. It is a large, shallow lagoon that is connected to the Adriatic Sea by three narrow channels. The basin is named after the nearby St. Mark's Square, which is one of the most famous landmarks in Venice.

The history of the St. Mark's Basin goes back to ancient times, when the lagoon was formed by the deposition of sediment and sand carried by rivers flowing into the Adriatic. The lagoon provided a natural shelter for ships, and over time, settlements began to develop on the islands and along the shores of the lagoon.
