The Shipyards

As previously said, the Port of Marghera handles the commercial side of the traffic to the Port of Venice, which is mostly oil tankers and container ships, even if it has only been recognised as one of Italy’s most important industrial and commercial ports since the fifties. Recently, in 2010, the Port of Marghera was expanded enabling ships up to 290 metres long to moor there.

The port is highly interconnected with Marghera’s industrial area, where there are numerous shipyards for construction and repair work Indeed, in the 20 years following the Second World War, it was the Port of Marghera that attracted inhabitants from the hinterland making Marghera a town of 28,000 inhabitants, today. If you are going to the Port of Marghera, it’s worth stopping in its centre to see its monuments such as the Church of Sant'Antonio and the Church of Gesù Lavoratore.
