This tree-lined avenue starts from the Upper Castle and reaches Porta delle Grazie; from it you can enjoy a splendid view of the city.
Once it was protected to the north by the medieval walls, demolished in 1886 to allow a better enjoyment of the landscape to the rich families of Bassano who had their palaces there.
Viale dei Martiri took this name following the bloody episode of the Grappa roundup between 20 and 23 September 1944, which culminated on 26 September in the execution of 31 young partisans, most of them hanged from the trees of the then avenue XX Settembre. Each tree bears the name and photo of the partisan who died there.
