Did this old building used to be a storage facility for weapons? Here at the Caserma Mandracio, it’s not hard to imagine the hustle and bustle of military life. The Caserma Mandracio is a striking two-story structure. It’s made of exposed brick and accompanied by various warehouses and storage buildings. Constructed in 1911, it holds the distinction of being the oldest of three barracks built to serve the coastal defense system of Cavallino. Imagine the scene – a bustling hub of military activity with four batteries guarding the coastline. The Caserma Mandracio wasn’t just a standalone structure. It was enclosed by a wall and faced the Pordelio canal. It even had its own dock! This dock served as the arrival point for supplies from Venice. What’s more, a narrow-gauge railway departed from this very spot. This railway connected all of Cavallino’s military structures. This railway was a vital lifeline connecting this crucial outpost to the heart of the Venetian lagoon. Today, the Caserma Mandracio stands as a silent testament to a bygone era. It’s a place where history whispers through the crumbling walls. It offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of defense in a world on the brink of war.
