Did you already know the history of Cervia?

Did you already know the history of Cervia?

August 5, 2022

The city of Cervia has always been shrouded in an aura of mystery considering that the documents and finds related to it are very few. Scholars agree in naming Cervia "the city of three sites" , since it has been rebuilt three times in three different historical periods.

Initially the city was known as Ficocle , a city probably of Greek origin. There is not much reliable information regarding this period, but we know that it certainly stood not far from the coast line, presumably halfway between the current Cervia and Ravenna and the proximity to the sea was also confirmed by its name, precisely Ficocle, which in Greek it meant "place made famous by algae". We also know that it was completely destroyed by the Exarch Theodore in 709, guilty of having allied himself in Ravenna against Constantinople.

After such a disaster the city was rebuilt in a safer place, in the center of Prato della Rosa, inside the Salina.

It was a strong city that had three entrances connected to the mainland by drawbridges, a Prioral Palace, seven churches and a defensive fortress wanted, according to legend, by Barbarossa himself. The name changed from Ficocle to Cervia in this period.

Surely the new city could count on a geographical position that made it impregnable , but at the same time it could not guarantee the inhabitants of the time an optimal environmental and hygienic condition. The saline, in fact, was nothing more than a swamp and within a few years the decidedly unhealthy air of the area decimated the population.

In 1630 they began to think of a new transfer of Cervia to a healthier geographical position. However, we will have to wait until November 9, 1697 , when Pope Innocent XII, then Head of the Papal State, decided to sign the Chirograph which contained the order and methods of reconstruction of the new city.

The document indicated exactly the number of houses to be built, the location of the Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace and the prisons for a total cost of 35-40,000 scudi. Ample space was left for the two Magazzini del Sale and the defensive Torre San Michele, which had already been built in 1691. The warehouses appeared as massive buildings, with few entrances and particularly large internally so as to be able to contain enormous quantities of salt, about 130,000 quintals.

"Excellent stay from every point of view"

Excellent stay from every point of view

[translated by Google Translate] Courteous and welcoming staff. Excellent cuisine, excellent service. I thank Nunzio and Tiziano in particular, but all the dining room staff behaved excellently. The rooms are welcoming, equipped with every comfort and clean. The bar service is also excellent, the indoor swimming pool with heated water is wonderful. The agreement with the Adria bathroom is also excellent. I liked the hotel last year and I continue to like it. If my health helps me I will definitely return next year.

[translated by Google Translate] The beach is accessed via a small road in the pine forest. The cleanliness of the rooms is impeccable and the service truly excellent. We found a week of sunshine, in case of rain you won't get bored at all as there is a beautiful swimming pool inside the covered structure with hot water and also a sauna and Turkish bath.
