The tegnue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The astonishing seabed of Caorle<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

Tegnue<\/em> are rocky formations<\/strong> rising upwards from the seabed, typical of some North Adriatic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can be seen in various shapes<\/strong>: sometimes alone, i.e. far apart from each other, or grouped together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are mainly formations of limestone origin<\/strong>, which can rise up to several metres and are very different from the classic “elevations<\/strong>“, which are largely composed of mud and sand.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Origin of the name<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n\n

The name “tegnua<\/em>” is mainly related to the words “hold<\/strong>” or “stop<\/strong>” and derives from the fact that fishermen’s nets<\/strong> are held<\/strong> by the roughness of the seabed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In seafaring jargon<\/strong>, they are also called “tresse”, due to the intertwining of one with the other that characterises them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

To get a “tegnua”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting a tegnua<\/strong>, at least until a few years ago, very often meant damaging<\/strong> the fishing net even in a devastating way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of high-tech equipment<\/strong>, initially the “Loran” and now the GPS<\/strong>, has ensured that over the years they have been almost entirely signposted<\/strong>, so currently, at least as far as trawling is concerned, they are secured<\/strong> from any danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, only divers<\/strong> approach these million-year-old sites, and they are the only beings, apart from the fish that live there, who can enjoy their spectacular beauty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Northern Adriatic<\/strong>, although small, is among the seas with the most of them in its shallow waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “tegnua<\/em>” is a heritage<\/strong> and a reservoir of marine life<\/strong> that has no equal, so if well managed and protected, lobsters, scorpion fish, conger eels and dozens of other fish species<\/strong> will be able to continue to inhabit the seabed for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Discovering Caorle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caorle<\/strong> is a picturesque village on the Venetian coast<\/strong> in the Veneto region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This charming seaside resort<\/strong> boasts an historic centre characterised by narrow cobbled streets<\/strong>, colourful houses<\/strong> and an authentic atmosphere<\/strong> that embodies the essence of tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city centre<\/strong> is actually a real jewel<\/strong> that attracts visitors from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its origins<\/strong> date back to Roman times<\/strong>, when it was an important trading centre and a port of call for the Adriatic Sea routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the centuries<\/strong>, the city has been influenced by various civilizations<\/strong>, such as Byzantine, Lombard and Venetian, which have left an indelible imprint on its architecture and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is dominated by charming, colourful houses<\/strong> with fa\u00e7ades painted in vibrant shades such as pink, blue and yellow. These traditional houses<\/strong>, some of which date back to the 16th century, give the old town a picturesque and unique appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

The main square, called Piazza Vescovado<\/strong>, is the beating heart of the old town. Here you will find St Stephen’s Cathedral,<\/strong> an imposing Romanesque church dating back to the 11th century, with an onion-shaped bell tower rising above the cityscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cathedral is a place of great historical and religious importance for the city, and its interior holds some very valuable artworks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, strolling through the narrow streets of the old town, visitors can discover old craft workshops<\/strong> and souvenir shops selling typical local products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also cosy restaurants and caf\u00e9s<\/strong> where you can enjoy delicacies typical of the Veneto region, such as the famous “cicchetti<\/strong>“, small appetisers accompanied by a glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to the old town would not be complete without a walk along the promenade<\/strong>. The golden beach<\/strong> stretches for several kilometres along the coast and offers the possibility of relaxing in the sun or taking a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During summer, Caorle bustles with cultural<\/strong> and folklore<\/strong> events that attract tourists and locals alike. he most famous celebrations is the feast day of St Roch<\/strong>, the town’s patron saint, held on 16 August<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
