The term riva refers to a dock that is made out of stone and has steps that go from street level to water level. Another type of riva is a place to dock at the end of the street where there are no steps. In Venice, there are 1321 riva (1627 in the Veneitan Lagoon) that are located throughout the city. A feature that is nice about riva are that they have steps from street level to the water level of the canal. However, some of the lower steps may be covered with moss or wet so people have to be careful when loading and unloading on lower steps of a riva.[1]
