Eraclea, Coastal commune in Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy
Eraclea stretches along the Adriatic Sea with its six-kilometer beach bordered by dense maritime pine forests and the Laguna del Mort natural reserve.
The settlement served as the capital of the Republic of Venice until 742 AD before relocating to Malamocco due to flooding and health concerns.
The local community maintains traditional agricultural fairs throughout the year, celebrating regional products and fishing activities along the Piave River.
Visitors can reach Eraclea via regular bus connections from Venice Marco Polo Airport or by train to the nearby station of San Donà di Piave.
The Laguna del Mort, formed by a 1935 Piave River overflow, contains shallow waters with a sandy seabed rich in marine organisms.
