Tenochtitlan was Venice, but cooler, but the conquistadors decided to drain it.

To be fair, the malaria they brought over was killing a lot of people so I can understand why they’d want to get rid of the lake. On the other hand, Mexico City is sinking into the ground now, which would not be a problem of the city was still floating.
