In the 14th century, a shipping canal next to the island habitually causedsilting to the lagoon.[3]
Ruined fortifications, including the so-calledTorre Massimiliana (Tower of Maximilian), ring the isle. Forts existed in the island as early as the 16th century. After the fall of theRepublic of Venice, theFrench built here a stronghold in 1811–1814. After Napoleon's defeat, theAustrianArchduke Maximilian of Austria-Este had a tower built here in 1843–1844, and also found here refuge during a revolt. The tower has a polygonal base of 25 m and is surrounded by a ditch. On the upper floor up to 13 cannons could be housed. It was used by the Italian Army as late as World War I.
An annual boat race takes place during the summer. Sant'Erasmo is also known for thewaders onsand banks in the lagoon surrounding it. The beach on the island's Southernmost point, theSpiaggia del Bacan, is a popular summer destination with local Venetians. There is a 20th century church, a few restaurants and a guesthouse.[1]
