2Introduction
The city has maintained the original layout of
the historical part ,with its two principal
street running parallel, on opposite banks of
the river Lemene. The town was originally girded
by a wall with 5 gateways ,of which three still
exist (S. Gottardo, S. Agnese and S.
Giovanni)
3History of Portogruaro
The foundation of Portogruaro can be traced to
1140 when Gervino, the bishop of Concordia, ceded
the land along the banks of the river Lemene to
some local people toward the construction of a
port, some warehouses and dwellings. IN 1420 P.
was annexed to the Republic of Venice which in
this period became part of the land of Partria of
Friuli. In 1797 Napoleon ceded the territory to
the state of Austria. The Austrian domination
lasted until 1866 when P. became part of the
Kingdom of Italy

5The cathedral
Built during the early decades of the 19th
century upon the side of an earlier Romanesque
church, the remaining traces being the inclined
church tower. The inside is divided in to 3 naves
with a deep presbytery above the central door
the last supper attributed to Pietro Muttoni.
At the second altar on the right Saint Rocco
attributed to Antonio Carneo.
6The well of G.Pilacorte
Situated next to the municipal build, Its one of
the symbol of Portogruaro. The well of the cranes
, more than 500 years old, was created in 1494
by Giovanni Antonio Pilacorte. On the well we
find not only the coat-of-arms of the town but
also two potestr of the 14th century
,probably Paolo Contarini and Jacopo Gabriel. In
the 17th century the well passed I private hands.
It was gifted to the council in 1908 upon the
occasion of the opening of the public aqueduct.
7The municipal building
Gothic in style, with its exposed brick work, the
edifice was built in two distinct phases. The
oldest part is the central part probably built in
1265. During the insurrection of Bardi in 1371
the municipal build was burnt out.
When the patriarch of Aquileia intervened to
re-establish his authority the community erected
a new lodge with the ghibelline crenulations.
8The municipal villa
Its attributed to Guglielmo de Gris from
Alzano, know as the Bergamasco and as such can be
dated to the middle of the 16th century.
The Bergamasco was commissioned to build the
villa by Antonio Frattina. As with many other
palaces of port, the villas walls were enlivened
by frescoes of satyrs, horses and other
creature, although these had all disappeared by
1893.
9The gate of San Giovanni
The Saint Giovanni gate was built towards the
end of the 12th Century, and named first-the
ceremonial gate-and then later Saint Lazarus
after the nearby hospice for Lepers. Restructured
in 1555-56 from being part of the towns
defensive system to the principal entryway to the
town for people and merchandise from the nearby
merchant warehouses.
10The watermills
The mills situated in the middle of the river
Lemene, were built by the bishops of Concordia
during the 12th century, and belonged to the
diocese until 1867.
The maintenance was carried out under the
auspices of Bishop Antonio Feletto in 1477 and
again in 1755 by Bishop Jacopo Maria Erizzo. With
the passing of the Veneto region into the hands
of the kingdom of Italy in 1866, and the
subsequent laws which included the transfer of
title of much ecclesiastical property, the mills
came under the ownership of the State on the 25th
of September 1867.
In 1970 they were
bought by the Council of Portogruaro.
