Venice Empire

La Cura

La Cura is an island in the Venetian Lagoon.

It was part of the ancient city of Costanziaco and housed the churches of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, and St. Matthew. With the decline and disappearance of the city, the island was used as a fish farm and agricultural area and rustic buildings and a boathouse were constructed which are now in ruins.

The island has recently been the centre of archaeological excavations which have brought to light traces of the ancient settlement (seventh century).
