Via delle Fortificazioni (Fortifications Route)

I started from Punta Sabbioni, near Forte Treporti, a historic military work built between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to control access to the Venice lagoon. Immersed in the lagoon landscape, its watchtowers and concrete structures tell the story of the Great War. Cycle along the Via dei Forti museum circuit and reach the majestic Batteria Amalfi, built between 1915 and 1917 and named after the cruiser Amalfi, which sank off Venice.

Continue towards the Batteria V. Pisani, now transformed into a museum where exhibitions, historical finds and photographs immerse you in the military and civil life of the time. Each room tells a piece of history that links Cavallino Treporti to the Great War. The itinerary continues, touching other fortifications such as Batteria Radaelli and Batteria San Marco, testimonies of a complex defensive system that protected Venice.

Close the loop with a gaze full of history, where each fortification is a piece of an open-air museum that combines memory, nature and lagoon in a unique experience.
