Caorle between Tradition and Culture
Caorle, between history and art
Caorle, a jewel on the Adriatic between art, history and the atmosphere of Venice
Caorle is today one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Italy well known and frequented by tourists from all over Europe.
The artistic and cultural identity of Caorle is undoubtedly rooted and visible throughout the historic center, embellished by the Byzantine-style cathedral and its very distinctive cylindrical bell tower.
The atmosphere here is reminiscent of the campielli and calli of Venice, a magic of spaces, colors and things to see that enchant the tourist.
The Shrine of Our Lady of the Angel: between legend, faith and history by the sea
A well-known symbol of the town is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Angel, a small church that towers between the Levante and Ponente beaches.
The shrine was the first place of worship in ancient Caorle; erected by citizens, it is linked to the legend of the apparition of the statue of the Madonna and Child to some fishermen while they were at sea on a fishing trip.
Caorle and its port, an unbreakable bond with the sea
Sea life has been and always will be Caorle’s main activity, and to realize this you only need to reach theancient harbor, where the fishing boats with which fishermen go out to sea every day to gather fresh and delicious fish, a typical dish of Caorle cuisine, are moored.
Some “bragossi,” typical boats with colorful sails decorated with the coats of arms of noble families, or a few “caorlina,” a typical lagoon boat about 10 meters long once used for fishing, and today for regattas, can still be seen in the harbor.
Rio Terrà: the pulsating and lively heart of the historic center
Rio Terrà, originally crossed by a network of canals and later silted up, is the main street of the historic center; it is one of the most visited open-air “living rooms” in the Veneto region, not only in summer, but also out of season for a leisurely stroll, an aperitif with friends, or to enjoy one of the many culinary specialties in the many restaurants open year-round.
