The mills

The Lemene River in Concordia Sagittaria.

The city’s mills date back to the 12th century. They were built by the bishops of Concordia, to whom they belonged until 1867. In fact, the bishops’ coats of arms are still visible on the facades today. On the opposite side to the entrances from the islet you can see the doors that overlook the Lemene river, once used for loading and unloading grain: this was done using a wooden pier that has now disappeared. In 1870 their ownership passed to various private individuals; however, the activity continued regularly until 1928 when the new owner, the Consorzio di Bonifica di Lugugnana, closed them. Purchased in 1970 by the Municipality of Portogruaro, they were transformed into an art gallery. Some stone millstones remain of the old milling systems today, visible in the space in front of the entrance, while the original paddle wheels have unfortunately been lost.

A town with Renaissance buildings, squares and bridges where you can breathe the air of the Serenissima.
