Torre di Bebe, Medieval defensive tower in Chioggia, Italy.

Torre di Bebe is a medieval brick fortification standing along the Gorzone canal in Chioggia, positioned south of Ca' Pasqua. The structure contains multiple layers of archaeological remains that provide evidence of habitation and activity spanning several centuries.

According to tradition, Doge Teodato Ipato, in office around 742 to 755, had the tower built to control the mouth of the Medoacus Minor, a side branch of the Brenta leading into the Venetian Lagoon. It was attacked in the early 9th century and again by troops from Adria and Ravenna in the early 11th century. In 1214 it withstood a siege under Marco Cauco, and in 1216 Pietro Ziani defeated the attackers nearby. The Genoese held it until their defeat by Vettor Pisani and Carlo Zen in 1380.

The tower's name appears in Venetian records alongside a podestà chosen each year by the Great Council; Marin Sanudo names Zorzi Sagredo, who held the post in 1457, 1465 and 1470, Giacomo Matono in 1470 and Nicolò Salamon in 1473, the last holder. A marble plaque on a ruin lists the tower's history.

The tower and the Lido di Fossone are archaeological sites near Brondolo, at the border with Cavarzere, Cavanella d'Adige and Conche, south of Chioggia. They are identified by position rather than by standing structures, so orient yourself with the coordinates and the marble plaque on the ruin. No visiting facilities are documented.

Coins and ducal seals discovered during excavations suggest that senior officials made their home and worked at this location. Such findings are unusual for a fortress and reveal a more complex role than simply a military outpost.
