Cubo Magico Bevanella Visitor Center
Highlight • Rest Area
The mouth of the Bevano is an important area of approximately 40 hectares, which testifies, with its natural mouth, the coastal dunes and the lagoons behind the dunes, how the entire regional coastal strip must have been before massive anthropic interventions.
The site is part of the Po Delta Regional Park and presents naturalistic excellences such as the Ortazzo valley, a large freshwater marsh constantly submerged by the waters of the Bevano and Fosso Ghiaia rivers, which also includes the Ortazzino wetland, a brackish area adjacent to the beach which alternates ponds behind the dunes, reed beds, dunes with Mediterranean vegetation and coastal pine forests.
The Ortazzo valley hosts various environments characterized by halophilous vegetation adapted to the brackish environment, with alternating rushes and expanses of grasses. The peninsula that crosses the swamp is home to a pine forest characterized by the stone pine.
The environment of the Ortazzino wetland is characterized by arid meadows, coastal dunes, samphire forests, sea rushes and thermophilic shrublands dominated by juniper and sea buckthorn. Behind the dunes there is an area of state-owned maritime pine forests dating back to 1881, which overlap with the original shrubby vegetation typical of the dunes.
The avifauna is particularly rich: the area is in fact a nerve center for the migration and wintering of aquatic birds and is a nesting site for a numerous variety of birds, such as the Black-winged Stilt, the Avocet, seagulls, terns and other birds.
Next to the Visitor Center we have the Bevanella water pumping plant
The plant, near Lido di Classe, is the final structure of the hydraulic drainage system of the territories between the Bevano torrent and the Savio river, including the towns of Savio and Lido di Classe.
The area is particularly subject to hydraulic risk and was the subject of a major flood in October 1996.
The raising of the water is necessary to introduce the shallow waters (collected in the territories listed above) into the Bevano stream, thus allowing their flow towards the sea.
