Parco regionale del Delta del Po

The Delta del Po Regional Park extends across 54,000 hectares of wetlands, lagoons, forests, and coastal areas between the Adriatic Sea and mainland.

Established in 1988, this protected area received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1999 and became a UNESCO MAB Reserve in 2015.

The park contains significant architectural heritage, including the Pomposa Abbey from 1026 and the historical canals of Comacchio with traditional fishing structures.

Visitors access nine information centers throughout the park, offering guided tours, educational programs, and equipment rentals for activities like birdwatching and cycling.

The park hosts 344 bird species and 1,000 plant varieties, including two endemic North Adriatic species: Venetian salicornia and beach cornflower.
