Things To Do: Pescheria

I've started my exploring of the town entering through Torre Santa Agnese and Via Cavour. My first impression about the town was it looks like miniature Venice because the houses along river Lemene have double entrances, from both street and the river.
When approaching to Villa Comunale I heard strong noise of the water and that brought me to the most attractive sight of the town; Watermills and Pescheria.
Pescheria was old fish market and it looks very attractive, in fact, too attractive foe that purpose.

I passed old stone bridge acrros the river Lemene to get to the Pescheria which is situated on its left bank. There is beautiful wooden Oratory in Pescheria dedicated to the Virgin Mary, locals call it "Madonnina della Pescheria" or "Oratorio dedicato alla Madonna". Don't miss it!

The Cathedral, called Duomo di Sant'Andrea, has very simple facade like all other churches I have seen in the town. There is no decoration at all on the front facade and the portal is small and very simple. However, the Cathedral is worth an attentive visit because of its artworks.

The Belltower of the Cathedral, simple in it forms, is the highest building of Portogruaro and it can be seen from any position of the town. It was my conductor in exploring the town.
The belltower is of particular interest, locals call it "campanile pendente" - leaning church tower.

The town of Portogruaro have maintained the original layout of the historical part with her two principal streets running parallel, on opposite banks of the river Lemene.
The town was originally girded by a wall with five gateways, of which three still exist. This one is San Agnese or Torre Santa Agnese as called by the locals.
