Built around a canal harbour on the Adriatic Sea, Cesenatico grew into one of Emilia-Romagna’s established seaside resorts. The Porto Canale cuts through the historic centre and remains central to local life, lined with fishing boats, cafés and traditional waterside buildings. Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for the canal port in 1502 while working for Cesare Borgia; his designs are displayed at the Museo della Marineria, whose floating section includes historic Adriatic vessels. Beaches extend along the Romagna coast, while the town’s maritime identity still shapes its food and annual events. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Emilia-Romagna.
