Portogruaro, Medieval commune in Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy
Portogruaro is a medieval settlement in the Metropolitan City of Venice, spreading along the Lemene River and connected by several stone bridges. The streets follow a checkerboard pattern with brick arcades and Gothic spires rising above the rooftops.
In 1140 Archbishop Gervinus approved the construction of a harbor for fishermen on the Lemene, which started the formation of the settlement. Later the place grew into a key trading point between sea and inland, prompting the construction of bridges and Gothic buildings.
The name comes from Latin Portus Reatinus, referring to the old river harbor on the Lemene. Today the settlement lies on a key route between the sea and the Venetian hinterland, which shapes its role as a market and trading center.
Portogruaro-Caorle railway station connects the settlement with Venice and other cities in Veneto and lies around two kilometers south of the center. From the station, bus lines and walking paths lead straight into the old town with its arcades.
The Camuffo boatyard has been making boats at the same site since 1438 and ranks among the oldest continuously operating shipyards. Some of the wooden bridges over the Lemene still show the original railings from the 14th century.
