Must-sees in Cavallino Treporti
Discover the most beautiful places and enjoy the authentic beauty of the Venetian Lagoon
In this quick guide we will take you on a tour of the most interesting places in this area: from the fortifications with watchtowers overlooking the sea, through the streets leading to the old village of Lio Piccolo, to the charming landscape of the lagoon, with its sandbanks and its salty habitat rich in biodiversity. Here is the must see:
- Cavallino Forts: where history and the sea come together
If you love exploring historical sites, don’t miss the fortifications of Cavallino-Treporti, with the Pisani, Amalfi and Radaelli Batteries, among the best known, and the many telemetric towers. These military buildings, built in the past centuries to protect the Serenissima Republic of Venice from war, tell today a fascinating journey through time. - The historic centre of Treporti: a fascinating network of waterways
The old town centre of Treporti with the ancient Church of the Holy Trinity and the two bell towers is a small jewel set between the water basins and the picturesque Saccagnana Valley, where you can experience the history and tradition of these places. - Lio Piccolo: a farm treasure nestled in nature
Much more than a farming village, Lio Piccolo means an escape from daily routine. Just a short distance from Treporti, you can explore the lagoon in unexpected ways, either by bicycle or kayak, choosing from nature trails where you can reconnect with nature. - The Mesole: a birdwatcher’s paradise
For birdwatchers, and not only, the Mesole is a must-see destination. Situated in the lagoon, this island is the ideal place to admire a multitude of aquatic and terrestrial animal and plant species. Migratory birds, moving from North Africa to these shores, stop in these areas to rest and nest, and in some cases as the flamingos, have chosen these areas as their natural habitat.
