Old River Port of Noventa di Piave

The park that stands at the ancient river port of Noventa di Piave can be reached from the city center through the embankment tunnel.
The origin of the river port of Noventa dates back to the 10th century and is due to the will of Pietro Orseolo II (991-1009) Doge of the Serenissima. Thanks to his diplomatic skills, the doge managed to obtain a series of concessions on the Venetian mainland from the German emperor Otto III (980-1002). Among these in 996, the year in which the emperor went down to Italy to be crowned by the pope, he obtained the power to build a port and a market on the Piave, where Noventa now stands. The choice fell on this area because it was the terminal point of navigation on the Piave and was crossed by a road, the Calnova, which followed the path of an ancient Roman road linking the city of Altino and the territory of Opitergino (Oderzo). .

here once stood the river port on the river Piave, in Noventa di Piave.
