The Cathedral of Conegliano

The city of Conegliano boasts a regional record: the façade of its cathedral, located in the ancient Contrada Granda, is the largest frescoed façade in the Veneto region. Among the many works of art housed inside is the famous altarpiece by Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano depicting the Madonna and Child.

The beauty of the frescoed façade, embellished with splendid pointed arches, reflects the beauty of the works of art housed within.

Inside the portico preceding Conegliano Cathedral is the Sala dei Battuti, once the meeting place of the religious order. It is beautifully decorated with 16th-century frescoes.

Piazza Flaminio, Vittorio Veneto

This extraordinary square was created from the 16th-century renovation of a previous medieval structure. Rectangular in plan, paved in Istrian stone, it faces the Meschio River to the east, while the other three sides are lined with 15th- and 16th-century buildings.

Dominating the square is the Community Palace, or Loggia di Serravalle (1462-76), with its frescoed façade and Romanesque bell tower (the tower still houses the Community bell, cast in Ceneda in 1487, in its high cell). You’ll then see the two Cesa palaces, built in the 15th century and enriched with frescoes in the portico, the 16th-century Palazzo Bonaccorsi, and the Palazzo Paietta, with its stone balconies.

Museo della Battaglia, Vittorio Veneto

Located inside the 16th-century Palazzo della Comunità di Ceneda in Piazza Giovanni Paolo I, it is divided into three sections, presenting fantastic historical artifacts, integrated with modern technologies.

On the ground floor, the trench, where, along a winding and immersive path, you can learn about the various aspects of life spent in these cramped spaces. The second level explores the occupation between November 1917 and October 1918. On the third floor, the final battle, the so-called Battle of Vittorio, and the myth that has grown around it over the years. For more information, visit the official website.

The Prosecco Road between S. Pietro di Feletto and Valdobbiadene

This is by far the most panoramic stretch of the famous Prosecco Road. The route winds through breathtaking landscapes created by the vineyards that climb almost vertically up our hills, while the imposing peaks of the Treviso Prealps rise in the background.

Starting from the beautiful parish church of San Pietro di Feletto, head towards Refrontolo and then continue towards the village of Rolle, Campea, Combai, Santo Stefano, and San Pietro di Barbozza, ending in Valdobbiadene.

Follina Abbey

The Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria, built in the 13th century, was for many centuries an island of spiritual peace amid the historical upheavals that bloodied the medieval Venetian lords. The abbey’s beautiful cloister, splendidly preserved, is a true oasis of peace.

The Caglieron Caves

The Caglieron Caves complex is located above the village of Fregona and consists of a deep gorge carved into the limestone rock by the Caglieron stream and a series of artificial cavities that open into the walls.

These quarries date back to the 16th century and are evidence of the extraction of the so-called “piera dolza” (sandstone), used in construction at the time for doorposts and cornices. A well-maintained trail allows you to follow the stream, immersing yourself in this unique and fascinating environment. For more information, visit the caves’ official website.

The Cansiglio Plateau

For hikers and nature lovers, the Cansiglio plateau is a pristine paradise nestled in a natural basin overlooking the Veneto plain, surrounded by hills covered in splendid beech and fir forests. A somewhat rugged place, its karst nature manifests itself in the presence of highly evocative sinkholes, chasms, and chasms. Learn more about the Cansiglio Forest.

After a pleasant hike, you can relax at one of the many mountain farms, where you can savor various typical products of the plateau. Among the many options, we recommend Casera le Rotte, Malga Coro, and Agriturismo Valmenera.

The Molinetto della Croda

This watermill, dating back to the 17th century, stands amidst truly enchanting scenery. It is one of the few mills still in operation; therefore, a demonstration of its operation is fascinating.

The interior of the building, which regularly hosts art exhibitions, is open to visitors. Guests can also take a short walk along the waterfall nature trail or take alternative routes.

Villa Barbaro, in Maser

The Villa di Maser (Villa Barbaro) is one of Andrea Palladio’s (1508-80) masterpieces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and remains at the heart of his thriving agricultural estate.

Open year-round, it retains the charm of the villa once inhabited by the owners, and during events, visitors can enjoy the extraordinary beauty and magical atmosphere throughout the seasons. Climbing roses, wisteria, and bignonias welcome visitors to the entrance courtyard. The visit continues inside, with the six rooms frescoed by Paolo Veronese, his most extensive and important fresco work, from which one can see the Nymphaeum with stucco decorations by Alessandro Vittoria.

A short stroll through the vineyards leads to the Carriage Museum, home to around thirty antique carriages.

Asolo

Asolo, a medieval town awarded the Touring Club Italiano’s Orange Flag status, has one of Italy’s most charming historic centers, a destination for poets and writers, artists, and travelers throughout the ages. The poet Giosuè Carducci called it the “City of a Hundred Horizons.”

The historic center is dominated by Queen Cornaro’s castle, while from the top of the hill, the imposing fortress watches over the city. After enjoying the many views that Asolo offers, a delicious stop at the Caffé Centrale will be the perfect conclusion to your visit.

Eno Bellis Archaeological Museum, in Oderzo

Established in 1876, the Eno Bellis Archaeological Museum is housed in the Barchessa of Palazzo Foscolo. It houses the most significant archaeological remains of ancient Opitergium, an important economic and administrative center during the ancient Venetian and Roman eras. Its urban layout dates back to the end of the 10th century BC and continued uninterrupted until the 7th century AD. Visit the official website of the Eno Bellis Museum.

Villa Emo, in Fanzolo

Villa Emo is a Venetian villa in Fanzolo designed by architect Andrea Palladio. Construction, likely beginning in 1558, was commissioned by the noble Venetian Emo family, who owned and managed a vast agricultural estate there.

Inspired by the symmetry of Roman buildings, the villa’s exterior is simple and devoid of decoration. The interiors, however, are richly decorated with frescoes by Giovanni Battista Zelotti, who also painted similar works in other Palladian villas.

Treviso’s taverns

For Treviso residents, aperitivo is an unmissable event, especially in the city’s traditional taverns. Thus, we find a tour of the taverns to be one of the most beautiful ways to visit Treviso, whose charm stems primarily from the maze of narrow streets, porticoes, small squares, and canals that make up the city.

The taverns perfectly reflect the joyful and light-hearted atmosphere of our city. Here are our favorite taverns where you can enjoy characteristic “cicheti” washed down with the inevitable “ombra”:

Dalla Gigia, Osteria Trevisi, da Muscoli, Dai Naneti, Al Botegon, Osteria Armàn… and finally, two historic names in Treviso’s restaurant scene: Toni del Spin and Odeon alla Colonna.
