Luca N.
June 2, 2026, Cimitero dei Burci sul Fiume Sile

Along the Restera, the picturesque cycle-pedestrian path that runs along the Sile river between Silea and Casier, lies one of the most fascinating industrial archaeological sites in the Veneto region: the Cimitero dei Burci (Ship Graveyard). In this stretch of water lie the wrecks of nineteen large historic wooden transport vessels, precisely called "burci". Used for centuries to transport goods from Treviso to Venice, these ships were deliberately sunk by their boatmen between 1974 and 1975 as a form of protest against the advent of road transport, which was marking the end of their era. Today, a system of wooden walkways suspended over the water allows you to walk right over the wrecks, which have been partially submerged and colonized by river flora and fauna, creating a unique and poetic blend of history and nature.

The Botteniga is a resurgence river in the Veneto-Friuli plain. It rises a few kilometers north of the city of Treviso (San Pelaio); shortly after it receives the waters of the La Cerca canal, the Pegorile and the Piavesella di Nervesa and then divides into several branches at the gates of the walls of Treviso, near the Ponte de Pria: • The Cagnan Grande or della Pescheria; • The Cagnan Medio or canale dei Buranelli (0.743 km); • The Cagnan della Roggia or Siletto (1.117 km); • The Convertite or Santa Sofia canal (0.882 km, mostly buried); • the canal that laps the outside of the walls on the eastern side (the western one has been buried). This system is actually part of a notable work of hydraulic engineering designed in the sixteenth century by Giovanni Giocondo for the defense of the walls. All the branches finally flow into the hydrographic left of the Sile river. The waters of the Botteniga also feed the spring from which the Cantarane canal flows (0.447 km, now mostly filled in).
