It was once used as a fort to control a strategic area, suspended between the lagoon and the countryside. On the right bank of the Sile river, a few kilometers from the historic centre, it is still possible today to visit the remains of the Torre del Caligo, a work that represents tangible evidence of the ancient history of the city.

The Caligo tower was an ancient fortress that stood in the current town of Jesolo; it was located west of the capital, on the banks of the Caligo canal, which branches off from the Sile just before. It was probably built on a previous building from the imperial era. The defensive system was used to monitor a strategic area, controlling the direct channels into the lagoon and the surrounding cultivated countryside.
