Venice is an engineering marvel built across 116 islands in the Adriatic Sea. Originally founded by 5th-century refugees fleeing mainland invasions, the city is supported by millions of petrified wooden piles. Today, it relies on the Rs 580 billion MOSE barrier to survive rising sea levels.

Why is this city built on more than 100 islands?

Imagine a floating city nearly a mile long, home to 80,000 people, complete with hospitals, schools, parks, shopping districts, and residential communities. That's the vision behind the Freedom Ship, an ambitious project that aims to create the world's largest vessel ever built.

First proposed decades ago, the concept has resurfaced with renewed interest. If constructed, the 30-deck-high ship would accommodate around 50,000 permanent residents, 10,000 visitors, and 20,000 crew members. The vessel would operate primarily in international waters, effectively functioning as a self-contained city at sea.
