It is called Gold Island or Sun Island...But it is impossible to describe Grado, its fascinating nature, its history, its traditions, the beauty of beaches, the benefits of thermal treatments...with this simple words.
Come and see! . Well-known as a seaside resort since the second half of the 19th century (a famous "pioneer" was Ippolito Nievo, the writer), Grado was officially appointed a Therapy Resort in 1892 by the creation of a Curatorio, a therapy centre. Within a few years, thank to the improved maritime links and the connection to the international railway system, dozens of hotels and accomodation facilities were created, thus turning the isolated fishing village into the most popular seaside resort in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and in a higly regarded sea-water spa. Even after deep political changes, the city of Grado has managed to retain this important tourist appeal, thanks also to its historical and environmental uniqueness in the Adriatic area, while at the same time improving and diversifying its offer so as to be abreast with the times. So much so that the laudaatory title of "golden island" coined by poet Biagio Marin has never been usurped.
