Adria, Ancient port town in Veneto Region, Italy
Adria sits between the Adige and Po rivers, with present-day structures built upon Etruscan city remains located four meters underneath.
The settlement transformed from Venetic stilt houses in wetlands to an Etruscan port city around 530 BC, later accommodating Greek traders.
The National Archaeological Museum of Adria displays extensive collections of ancient artifacts from Etruscan, Greek, Celtic, and Roman civilizations.
The municipality contains numerous waterways connecting to the Bianco Canal, with modern agricultural activities centered around regional produce distribution.
The town gave its name to the Adriatic Sea, though natural sediment accumulation has pushed the coastline 22 kilometers east.
