The water that crosses Treviso, the walls, the city gates, and the winged lions still tell the long relationship between the city and Venice. This guided tour invites you to follow its traces by walking through the historic center, where the bond with the Serenissima is imprinted in the architecture, the waterways, and the daily life of the city.
The route leads the gaze towards the Renaissance Walls, the historic gates, and the Locks of Fra’ Giocondo, built to protect Treviso also through the control of the waters. In the heart of the city, the story continues in Piazza dei Signori, between the Palazzo del Podestà, the symbols of the Lion of Saint Mark, and the Fountain of the Breasts.
Following canals and glimpses of water, you then encounter the city mills and the Buranelli, places that recall the exchanges with the Lagoon: grain, fish, goods, and people traveled between Treviso and Venice along a network of relationships that for centuries has accompanied the development of the two cities.
A walk to look at Treviso with greater attention and to recognize, among stones and water reflections, the signs of a history that continues to be part of its identity.
