The harmonious beauty of Treviso
If you follow the River Sile northwards from Ca’ Maffio you will soon reach the town of Treviso, a gem of art and culture in the heart of the Trevisan plain.Crossed by the River Sile which flows into the River Cagnan, Treviso is surrounded by the imposing remains of its ancient 16th-century walls. Numerous restoration projects carried out over recent years have returned Treviso to its former beauty and elegance; it welcomes visitors to explore its lovely historic centre and discover its artistic and historical sites.
Treviso’s medieval heart is a meandering maze of canals, narrow streets lined by arcades and frescoed palaces; here you will find the splendid Piazza dei Signori overlooked by antique municipal buildings and aristocratic residences, the Palazzo dei Trecento, the city’s landmark, the Loggia dei Cavalieri, the fourth-century cathedral and the Casa dei Carraresi, a venue hosting prestigious contemporary art exhibitions.
Make sure you explore the picturesque sights like the Pescheria area where a bustling fish market is held every morning or the Buranelli canal with its lovely arcades, bridges and ancient mill. Treviso offers a vast range of local food specialities from the celebrated Radicchio rosso di Treviso to the delicious DOC prosecco on offer in the many bars livening up the area.
