The History of Poveglia Island
Poveglia Island, located in the Venice lagoon, has a long history dating back to the 5th century when it served as a haven for people fleeing invaders. Over the centuries, it was inhabited, developed a small economy based on fishing, and a church was erected on the island. It later became a Lazaretto, a quarantine location for travelers, and a fortress for protection. In the 20th century, it housed a hospital and later a facility for the elderly homeless. Today, the island is uninhabited, with efforts being made to preserve its historical identity.
