Graceful gondolas have been used in this Adriatic city for over 10 centuries, with the earliest recorded mention dating back to 1094. They were once the main mode of transport around the Venetian canals. By the end of the 16th century, there were approximately 10,000 gondolas creating water blocks throughout the city. Today there are only about 425 gondolas in Venice.
