Additional Information

The fortified structures within the lagoon are accessible predominantly with individual boats, bestowing upon visitors a unique and less crowded perspective on Venice, usually inaccessible to the general tourist populace. The fortification system enveloping Venice’s lagoon encapsulates the following: Forte Sant’Andrea (St. Andrews Fort), a structure taking shape in the latter months of the 16th century, emerging at the Lido “bocca di porto”, which serves as the lagoon’s port entrance. It, indeed, represents the most picturesque element and harbors the most historical substance. Then there’s Torre Massimiliana (Maximilian Tower) of Sant’Erasmo, an establishment constructed by Austrians during the second half of the 19th century and the Forte Vecchio (Old Fort) of Treporti, stationed to supervise the water ingress to the lagoon’s northern section.
