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.

Near Caorle
The lagoon and marshland around Caorle, with their traditional
buildings - the reed shelters built by the fishermen - have
fortunately remained an area of uncontaminated natural beauty.
The mediaeval town of Portogruaro, Concordia with its Roman
remains, the Benedictine Abbey at Sesto al Reghena and the
wine-growing area of Lison all invite interesting easily-accessible
day trips.

Venice
Venice - considered by many to be the eighth Wonder of the
World is only a short distance away, easily accessible by
train, sea or private transport. It is a golden opportunity
to spend an unforgettable day in the city which is the home
of lovers.
And apart from the city itself, the islands of Murano, Torcello,
Burano and San Francesco del Deserto are all well worth a
visit.

Treviso and the Marca Trevigiana
An hour away you can find Treviso - a city with a rich artistic
heritage which today brings together the fascination of history,
the pleasure of shopping and the very best of gastronomy and
wine.
The surrounding area - the Marca Trevigiana - is renowned
as the Garden of Venice, where some of the most beautiful
of the Palladian villas can be found, such as that at Masar
in the enchanting hills around the famous town of Asolo. And
don't forget Possagno, with the gallery of plaster casts by
Canova, Bassano, with its famous bridge and highly-regarded
ceramics, and Castelfranco, the home of Giorgione.

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 Unità d'Italia
are just a few of the places to see and enjoy.
