Chioggia a little Venice

The town is situated on a small island at the southern entrance to the Lagoon of Venice about 25 kilometres (16 miles) south of Venice. The most ancient documents naming Chioggia dates from the 6th century AD, when it was part of theByzantine Empire. Chioggia is a miniature version of Venice, with a few canals, chief among them the Canale Vena, and the characteristic narrow streets known as calli. Chioggia has several medieval churches, much reworked in the period of its greatest prosperity in the 16th and 17th centuries. Fishing is historically the livelihood of the port, and remains a significant economic sector.
