Chioggia, Coastal commune in Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy

The town stretches across an island at the southern entrance of the Venice Lagoon, featuring a network of canals connected by stone bridges and walkways.

The settlement evolved from ancient Roman times, when it was known as Fossa Clodia, and became a strategic point during the war between Genoa and Venice in 1380.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built in the eleventh century, stands as the main religious building with its marble elements and bell tower.

The fish market near Corso del Popolo sells fresh catches from local fishing boats every morning except Mondays, offering a wide selection of Adriatic seafood.

The Chiesa di Sant Andrea contains what experts consider the oldest functioning tower clock mechanism in the world, still marking time after centuries.
