Former Cral saline

Via Evangelisti - The building called Ex Cral saline was designed and built together with Cervia Nuova, when it was decided to move the site of the city from the salt pans to the coast, between the end of the 1600s and the first decades of the 1700s.
Located near the Salt Warehouses, the property was conceived and used as a factory, where women produced jute sacks to contain the salt.
It was then used for some time as a deposit, and it was only in the 1960s that it became a recreational club for after-work. However, it was not immediately used as the headquarters of the CRAL, as it was previously located on the first floor of one of the salt workers' houses in the quadrilateral, on the sea side, where, even today, it is possible to see the sign on the external facade.
For many years the CRAL was a meeting point not only for salt workers but for many people from Cervia who went there for a game of cards or billiards, to catch up on the latest events in the city or simply to see familiar faces and have some fun. Today the building is owned by the State Property Agency.
