THE LONG RANGE CANNONS THAT PROTECTED VENICE

Two large long-range cannons (18 km) crowned the 360° rotating armored towers of the San Marco Battery, dedicated to the patron saint of Venice. The main body and accessory buildings of this fortification had a surrounding wall and were once sheltered by an artificial sand dune.

During your outdoor vacation, explore the routes of the Great War: come and see the remains of the walls and the large iron gate crowned by the Lion of St. Mark. Can you also find the Decauville tracks?
