Lapped by the Adriatic Sea, expanses of brackish water, and salt pans and surrounded by the lush green landscape, Cervia, the ancient city of salt, has grown over the years into a modern, refined and welcoming holiday resort, enlivened by major cultural exhibitions and events, while preserving the natural environment. This commitment is testified by the fact that it is the first municipality along the Adriatic coast to have earned EMAS certification for sound environmental management.
