1716 the idea of a large dyke was proposed by Vincenzo Coronelli, 1744-1782 the Murazzi were built (architect Bernardino Zendrini)to defend the Lagoon from the erosion of the sea.
They are divided into 3 parts:
- Lido (Ca' Bianca to Alberoni)
- Pellestrina (Santa Maria del Mare to Ca' Roman)
- Sottomarina (Forte San Felice to Sottomarina Vecchia)
The dykes were damaged in 1825 and 1966.
