Grand Canal

The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) was the most important canal in Venice, Italy. It formed one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport was provided by water buses and private water taxis, but many tourists visited it by gondola.

At one end the canal led into the Venetian Lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end led into Saint Mark Basin; in between it made a large S-shape through the central districts of Venice. It was 3800 m long, 30-90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters.

In late 2379, while campaigning for the position of Federation President, Nanietta Bacco's office in her campaign headquarters in Venezia overlooked the Grand Canal.
