Even before the discovery of Venice in the 5th century, Roman settlements were already present in the Venice Lagoon. This is what researchers at the Institute of Marine Sciences in Italy have found, according to the CNET portal.
Remains of 12 archaeological structures were found in the Treporti Channel, which is inside the lagoon, measuring 2.7 meters high and 52.7 meters long. According to the study, the largest of these structures could likely have been a port.

It is already known that the area occupied by the Venice Lagoon was accessible by land and is currently under water. The doubt is about the extent of human occupation in that area.
The discoveries were only possible due to previous research that revealed stones similar to those used by buildings in the Roman Empire. This led experts to believe that the stones would have been aligned to define the path of a road that would be above sea level. The evidence leads archaeologists to conclude that there was a permanent settlement located in the Treporti Canal.
