DARSENA DISTRICT RAVENNA

The area of the old dismissed port (163 hectares) is being transformed into a lively and effervescent urban pole, reconnected with the residential area of the district (70 hectares), the historic centre of Ravenna, and the water. The district, close to the railway station, embraces the head of the Candiano canal, it is characterized by artefacts of industrial archaeology and an open-air gallery of street art, and is dense with socio-cultural and educational services. Public and private investments, both ongoing and planned, mobilize over 60 million euros: construction of basic infrastructure, new socio-cultural and health services, sports facilities, redevelopment of schools and public spaces, innovative residential and commercial transformations, all under the umbrella of a "green Darsena" and good living. There are still many opportunities for investment and transformation, especially in the private areas facing the canal. The municipal administration is accompanying a collaborative path for the regeneration of the district, whose vocations linked to hospitality, entertainment, and sociality, as well as innovative housing, can find interesting developments here.
