The "Marca", name given to the Treviso’
surroundings, is rich of art, natural beauties,
but also agricultural products such as the
“Radicchio”, exalted by the cuisine of Treviso
and the wine production appreciated all over the
world, in particular the "Prosecco", produced in
Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, and its refined
version: the "Cartizze". Treviso and its Province
is the ideal territory for whom want to enjoy a
trip rich in flavours in an elegant
historical-architectural contest.

The city, enclosed
within XVI century walls, does not attract
visitors for one particular monument but rather
for its whole: its coloured buildings, its
elegant palaces and the slow, quiet flowing of
the river Sile. |

THE MONUMENTS
Treviso offers the visitor many opportunities to
get to know its history, culture and art. You
only need to take a slow walk under the arcades,
along the roads and in the squares. "Piazza dei
Signori" is the city's elegant lounge from where
you can admire the "Palazzo dei Trecento" and
the "Palazzo del Podestà" with the Civic Tower.
It is an ideal starting point for a visit that
will take you to see "Monte di Pietà" with the
beautiful frescoes by Fiumicelli, the church of
St. Francesco and the church of St. Nicolò, the
Cathedral and the Baptistery, the "Loggia dei
Cavalieri" and many other interesting sites such
as the characteristic "Peschiera" on an island
of the Sile. |

THE PROVINCE
In the strip of land at the foot of the hills to
the north of the city, there are the beautiful medieval village of Asolo, residence of the
refined court of Queen Caterina Cornaro and
Valdobbiadene, known for its Prosecco.
In the north there is the Cansiglio Wood, which
have been for century the wood reserve of the
Serenissima Republic shipyards. Eastwards
between Piave and Livenza you can reach Oderzo,
the centre of an area rich in archaeological
finds from the Roman and Pre-roman times. In the
west there is Castelfranco, a beautiful walled
town near the source of the river Sile whose
course is now a Regional Park. Then there is
Terraglio, the old tree-lined road framed by
wonderful Venetian villas that joins Treviso to
Venice.
