Casoni of the Caorle Lagoon

Highlight • Historical Site

“Il cason” was the typical house in wood and reed where the fishermen of the Caorle lagoon lived with their families. During the war they served as a refuge for families who fled the country for fear of bombing. Over the years, as a result of the reclamation works that reduced the surface of the lagoon, and a fishing activity increasingly turned towards the open sea, the casoni suffered a progressive abandonment and its number was reduced to a few specimens. Some of these are still visible today along the cycle path that starts at the municipal stadium (Piazzale Olimpia), continues along Strada Palangon up to the so-called "Fishermen's Island" and from here, on a cycle / pedestrian path that runs along the lagoon and reaches in Falconera.

Port and Fishing

Caorle is a seaside village that preserves and carries on its ancient traditions handed down from generation to generation, so much so that fishing is still today, together with tourism, the main activity to which many caorlotti are dedicated (this is how we inhabitants of Caorle call ourselves !).

The Fishing Port absolutely deserves a visit, especially in the afternoon to witness a ritual that has lasted for centuries: the fishermen, moored their boats, wash and repair their nets with the same ritual that has been repeated for generations!

Of the various canals that crossed Caorle, today only the internal Rio remains, i.e. the fishing port, which with its marine microcosm welcomes those arriving here from the hinterland.

Up until the last century, the port was crowded with bragozzi, the two-masted fishing and cargo boats of the Northern Adriatic with the typical trapezoidal sails (known as lugsails). Today, from time to time, especially in the summer, it happens to admire them still moored.

Bell Tower of the Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful place, with the historic center full of narrow and very characteristic streets and alleys with all the colorful houses. When there is wind, however, it becomes difficult to walk and fully enjoy its beauties.

Twenty years ago it was just a cliff that was intended to defend the breakwater from the fury of the sea. Today it is one of the most beautiful open-air galleries in Italy. It is the "Living Cliff" of Caorle, made up of boulders of Euganean trachyte that from the Sanctuary of the Madonna dell’Angelo runs along the coast until it passes the Piazza del Duomo.

The credit for giving life to the stone of the cliff goes to the Treviso sculptor Sergio Longo, who was the first to understand the artistic value of this stretch of coast. Longo, an artist who loved Caorle and its history, in July 1992 took a hammer and chisel and created the first sculpture. Longo chose Neptune as his subject: who better than the God of the Sea could inaugurate this expanse of stones located on the border between sea and land? The sculptor from Treviso then chose to give a companion to Neptune, a splendid nymph. These two works aroused so much interest among residents and tourists that it became almost inevitable the start of an organizational path which, thanks to the precious collaboration of Longo, led in the summer of 1993 to the creation of the first edition of the international outdoor sculpture symposium. "Living Reef".

From 1993 to today sculptors from all over the world (Ireland, Argentina, Japan, South Korea, Israel, etc ...). Among the Italians, it is worth mentioning some great names in the world of sculpture who have created some of the masterpieces visible today on the cliff of Caorle: Licata, Celiberti and Voltolina above all. The themes of this long open-air gallery, now made up of over a hundred subjects, are the most diverse: from mythology to love, from the natural and animal world to the metaphysical one, from life to the interior of man.
