Altinum, Archaeological site and national museum in Quarto d'Altino, Italy.
The ancient Roman settlement stretches across 100 hectares north of Venice Airport, rising 3 meters above the surrounding lagoon.
The Palaeoveneti established the settlement in the first millennium BC, which later became a Roman municipality in the second century BC.
The National Archaeological Museum of Altino exhibits decorative elements, including the headless statue of Icarus and glass artifacts from Roman times.
Two distinct archaeological areas contain the remains of the northern city gate with twin towers and Roman residential buildings with mosaic floors.
Aerial photography revealed the city layout, including a navigable canal that crossed through the settlement at its peak.
