Marano Lagunare

Marano is an ancient stronghold on the so-called Marano lagoon recalling its past status of bulwark – ruled by the Serenissima Republic of Venice since 1534 – in the land of Friuli. It still keeps an unbroken atmosphere of an old fisherman town, with the ancient buildings facing the seaport and the fish-market. The 15th century patriarchal tower still stands in the central square showing the heraldic bearings of the Venetian Governors, whose loggia and palace are not so far away.
Marano still today is a lively fishing center and it is widely renowned for its typical inns, where you can relish a genuine strictly fish-based cooking with perfumed white Friuli wines matching such delicious dishes of fish. Furthermore, in the lagoon of Marano one of the most interesting wildlife park for the avifauna – as far as the region and the whole north-east Italy is concerned – is located.
