Muore Alfonso II, ultimo duca degli Estensi e i territori del Ducato di Ferrara passano allo Stato Pontificio. Nel frattempo il Delta del Po avanzava verso nord con rami di Tramontana, di Levante e di Scirocco.
Il Po di Tramontana, in particolare, cominciò con i suoi sedimenti ad alzare i fondali della laguna verso Chioggia.
1600-1604
Per timore che l'espansione a Nord-Est del Delta andasse ad interrare la laguna di Venezia, agli inizi del 1600 il Po fu deviato a sud verso la Sacca di Goro con un canale artificiale che è il suo letto attuale. Questo intervento detto "Taglio di Porto Viro", determinò l'inizio della formazione del Delta moderno.
Il vecchio letto divenne un canale navigabile, il Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. Se prima del 1600 il Delta si espandeva di circa 53 ettari l'anno, dal 1604 al 1840 si passò a 135 ettari l'anno.

1598
Alfonso II, the last Duke of the Este family, dies and the territories of the Duchy of Ferrara pass to the Papal State. In the meantime, the Po Delta advanced northwards with branches of Tramontana, Levante and Scirocco.
The Po di Tramontana, in particular, began with its sediments to raise the depths of the lagoon towards Chioggia.
1600-1604
For fear that the north-eastern expansion of the Delta would bury the Venice lagoon, in the early 1600s the Po was diverted south towards the Sacca di Goro with an artificial canal which is its current bed. This intervention called "Taglio di Porto Viro", determined the beginning of the formation of the modern Delta.
The old bed became a navigable canal, the Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. If before 1600 the Delta expanded by about 53 hectares a year, from 1604 to 1840 it increased to 135 hectares a year.

I always loved going red. Mostly a more natural chestnut red but I did go pure fire-engine red once and it was wonderful!
Thank you for your comments and favourites on my photography.
I hope that you are having a great week.
Construite probablement au 13e siècle, cette tour est le plus ancien monument de Calais. Son origine n’a jamais pu être irréfutablement précisée. L’hypothèse la plus vraisemblable est qu’elle aurait fait partie du système défensif (dont les remparts de l’époque) construit par le Comte Philippe de Hurepel.
C’est de cette tour qu’en 1347, Jean de Vienne, Gouverneur de la ville, informa les Calaisiens des conditions d’Edouard III d’Angleterre pour la reddition de la cité après un siège de près de 11 mois. La population était rassemblée sur la place d’armes au pied de la tour, et ce serait de ses rangs que sont sortis les Bourgeois de Calais.
En 1580, un séisme secoua la ville et fit s’écrouler la moitié de la tour. En 1696, la flotte anglaise la toucha, entrainant une nouvelle réparation avec une modification notable, l’apparition de la rampe en fer. Destinée à servir de vigie, cette tour se vit dotée, en 1818, d’une lanterne tournante fonctionnant à l’huile, et a servi de relais de télégraphe et de phare jusqu’en 1848. Alors que Calais était détruite à plus de 70% à l’issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la tour a été épargnée pendant les conflits mondiaux. A son sommet flotte le drapeau historique bleu et blanc de Calais (les couleurs également de son voisin dunkerquois...).
