Bricks where the first material used to pave the early walkways of Venice. The first streets where paved with Venetian bricks in 1264 and were refereed to as salizada.[1] Bricks don't simply serve as masonry in Venice but also serve as a base for all construction measurements. When constructing a canal wall, bridge, or any other structure, dimensions are based on the size of a standard brick.
