Historic Fortified Octagon Island In The Venice Lagoon

About the Property

In the heart of the Venice Lagoon, this historic fortified octagon, built in 1790, spans approximately 2,000 square meters of land, with 400 square meters of covered spaces. Located just 10 minutes by motorboat from Venice’s historic center, this unique property stands as a direct testament to Venetian military history, offering an extraordinary opportunity for renovation into an exclusive private residence or a high-level architectural project. The octagonal structure, constructed during the Austro-Hungarian Empire's rule, served defensive and strategic purposes to protect Venice from sea attacks. Today, it remains one of the very few existing examples of such architecture, representing a one-of-a-kind system that is both historically significant and architecturally intriguing.
