Leonardesque Canal Port

Tales of the sea, historic boats and colorful houses

Discovering the Canal Port in Cesenatico

Along the Canal Port, redesigned by Leonardo da Vinci in 1502, Cesenatico's maritime history comes alive among boats, sails, and picturesque views of colorful houses. The Maritime Museum, unique in Italy, houses historic boats and nautical artifacts. Strolling along, discover the Piazzetta delle Conserve, once used for food preservation. Also overlooking the canal is Casa Moretti, home of the famous 20th-century poet Marino Moretti, and the Leonardo da Vinci Art Gallery, the city's art gallery. During the holidays, the Maritime Nativity Scene, on the ancient boats of the Museum, transforms the canal into a living work of art.
