History

Caorle, a charming Veneto town of Roman origin, owes its name “Caprulae” (island of goats) or perhaps to the pagan goddess Capris. Famous for the living cliff, with rocks sculpted by international artists every July, offers a picturesque waterfront dominated by the picturesque Church of Our Lady of the Angel. Also symbolic of the country is the Cathedral of St. Stephen, in Byzantine style, with the precious Golden Pall and an imposing bell tower from 1070, 48 meters high, which hosts fireworks displays in summer.
The historic center, with its narrow streets and the Rio Terrà (ancient underground canals), is full of stores, churches and oratories, a sign of a vibrant cultural development.
The Ponente and Levante beaches attract tourists thanks to the sunny climate and inviting sea, among the most beautiful in the Veneto region. After the post-war crisis, beach tourism, which began in 1911 with the first hotel, transformed Caorle into a top destination, with more than 200 hotels, campsites and residences along the 15 km of Adriatic coastline. Caorle thus combines art, culture and entertainment in a unique experience.
Remaining on the subject of Venetian beauty, how could we not mention the tangle of calli that stretches through the town’s historic center. In Rio Terrà calli and campielli seem almost to embrace those stores that rise right where once there were only canals. In fact, Caorle originally appeared as a small island traversed by canals that over time were buried (hence, for example, the name Rio Terrà, i.e., buried Rio), thus forming the space needed to build houses, structures, and later a larger and more up-to-date historic center.
Caorle’s casoni, traditional reed and wood huts scattered around the lagoon, are a symbol of rural and piscatorial life in the past. Built by fishermen as seasonal shelters, these rustic buildings blend in with the natural landscape among canals and bodies of water. Today, restored and visitable, they offer a dive into local history and culture, attracting tourists fascinated by their simplicity and the picturesque lagoon setting.
