Venice has been hit by its highest tide in more than 50 years, leaving much of the popular tourist destination flooded.
City officials said the tide peaked at 187cm at 10.50pm on Tuesday, just short of the 194cm seen in 1966.Visitors were forced to make their way along temporary platforms above the water, while others donned wet weather gear and sloshed through the floods.Saint Mark's Square had more than a metre of water
Cafes, stores and other businesses were inundated by high water and nursery schools were closed as a precaution.Saint Mark's Square had more than a metre of water and Saint Mark's Basilica was flooded for only the sixth time in 1,200 years - four of those being in the last two decades. The extent of damage to the historical church is not clear but when it last flooded in 2018, its administrator said it had aged 20 years in a single day.
Easy fix. Don’t go to Venice
