Doge's Palace, acqua alta, Venice, Italy

Doge's Palace in acqua alta, or high water, caused by exceptionally high tides resulting in saltwater flooding of Venice and other parts of Veneto and Chioggia, at the Piazzetta San Marco between the Piazza San Marco or St Mark's Square and the Venetian lagoon, Venice, Italy. The Palazzo Ducale or Doge's Palace is a Venetian Gothic 14th century palace, and on the right are the Columns of San Todaro and San Marco, with statues of the Byzantine saint San Teodoro Amasea and St Mark the evangelist in the form of a winged lion, 12th century, by Nicolo Barattieri. Tourists wade through the flood in waterproof boots and cafe chairs are partially submerged. Photographed on 28th October 2018 by Manuel Cohen
