The Living Rocks

Scogliera viva, Caorle

The Living Rocks

of Caorle

Breakwaters are the most boring thing in the world. That's what we thought, too, until we discovered Scogliera Viva.

Sure, you can sit on the usual breakwaters and enjoy the view of the sea. But that's about it. Not so in Caorle, with the Scogliera viva, the "living rocks."

Once a year, artists gather in Caorle for a competition (anyone who knows how to handle a hammer and chisel can participate) to tackle the boulders with hammer and chisel. You can see the amazing result for yourself.

The best part: the coastline is still long! A few new ones are added every year.

There is now a project website where you can get a better idea of what it's all about and even apply if you'd like to leave your mark in Caorle.
And yes, there are prizes! You can find more details on the Scogliera Viva website.
