Forte Poerio

Highlight • Historical Site

With the fall of the Serenissima, the French and then the Austrians started the construction of military forts to defend the city of Venice from attacks from the ground. With the advent of the unification of Italy, this defensive project took the name of Campo Trincerato di Mestre.

Forte Poerio was built in Mira, based on a construction project approved in 1908 in the National Defense Plan.

Forte Poerio was built to replace the construction of a much larger work that should have closed the front in the area of Malcontenta. It is characterized by a structure with simple and stylized geometric lines, built in concrete and formed by a long body surmounted by domes that served to protect the firing positions of the guns. It was originally surrounded by a rectangular ring moat which no longer exists today.

In reality, Forte Poerio followed the fate of the entrenched camp of Mestre, which upon its completion was ineffective compared to the armaments in use at the time. Never involved in war events, it was used after 1915 as a depot for ammunition and weapons.

Casoni di Giare

Highlight • Structure

I suggest the elevated road to enjoy the view of the lagoon. A bit tiring to pedal on the grass, but it's worth it.

Beautiful stretch of conjunction between Mira and Mirano. Better to get a bell for the most frequented section of Mirano pedestrians.

Canal Taglio

Highlight • Cycleway

Between Mira and Mirano this canal running alongside a superb cycle path is a must to connect these two typical towns of the province of Venice.
Very well maintained track and perfect surface.
