The Natural, Historical and Artistic Background
Chioggia offers several opportunities to discover its traditions and to enjoy its steering angles. A visit to the Museum of the Southern Lagoon can trace the origins of the city, trough accurate reproductions of the oldest local fishing boats; from the top of Sant'Andrea’s Tower you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Lagoon and appreciate one of the oldest clocks in the world; a ride aboard the Bragozzo Ulisse gives some glimpses of the city from an unusual perspective. For people interested in wild environment, naturalistic guides of the Center for Environmental Education accompany at the discovery of some oasis LIPU and WWF and, for those who want to know more about the local fishing fleet and its techniques, there are the marine biologists of the Olivi Museum that can guide you trough the retail fish market and along the banks full of fishing vessels.
