Corso del Popolo Site Features

The Vena and its boats

Step off the Corso down any lane to the east and you reach the canal, lined with working fishing boats. This is the town's best single view.

The fish market

Chioggia's market is one of the most important on the Adriatic, and the produce is landed a few hundred metres away.

The arcades

Continuous shelter the length of the street, and where the town's social life happens in the evening.

Sant'Andrea's bell tower

A Romanesque campanile on the Corso, holding what is claimed to be one of the oldest tower clock mechanisms in the world.
