Local Area
Caorle
The town's origins go back to Roman times, and alongside modern buildings and facilities along the shoreline, the old town centre with its small squares, alleyways and traditional houses remains intact. These are often coloured in deep Venetian red, ochre or the deepest blue - almost a miniature version of Venice itself!
The traditional fishing port and lively fish market take us back to times gone by.
The tenth century cathedral with its cylindrical campanile - one of very few in the world - are well worth a visit.

Trieste
The regional capital of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trieste can trace its origins back to Roman times and is about 100 kilometres from Caorle. The various periods of foreign domination - for example Venetian and Hapsburg - have had a powerful influence on the city, making it a reference point for what we call the culture of Mitteleuropa. The famous castle of Miramare, the mediaeval cathedral of San Giusto and the view from Piazza Unit d'Italia are just a few of the places to see and enjoy.
