Marghera

Marghera is best known in Veneto for Porto Marghera, the vast industrial and commercial port on the mainland shore of the Venetian Lagoon. Part of the Comune di Venezia, it stands opposite Venice’s historic islands, linked to the wider city by the Ponte della Libertà. The district was planned in the early 20th century as a new port and industrial zone, and its docks, canals, rail connections and factories have long shaped the working identity of this side of Venice. Marghera provides a revealing counterpoint to the historic centre, showing the maritime infrastructure that supports a lagoon city.
