Fortifications

Cavallino has always been the first bastion of defense in the Venice area. Here you can visit the Hasburg fortification on St. Erasmus Island commissioned by Emperor Francis, the Old Fort built by the Austrians, and the World War I Military Batteries.

To discover the network of fortifications erected during the two World Wars, we recommend a route that will take you through the expanses of green that dot the Cavallino-Treporti coastline.
