Marghera, Industrial port district in Venice, Italy
The Porto Marghera encompasses extensive manufacturing facilities, shipping terminals, and chemical plants along the Venetian mainland's western coast.
In 1917, the Italian government established Marghera as a new industrial zone and port facility to prevent commercial activities from affecting Venice's historical center.
The residential neighborhoods of Marghera maintain connections to Venetian traditions while adapting to the industrial character of their surroundings.
The district connects to Venice through multiple transportation options, including regular bus services, regional trains, and the mainland highway network.
Marghera's port handles over 30,000 workers across numerous factories, making it one of northern Italy's primary industrial and maritime centers.
