Villa Miollo is one of the historic Venetian villas located in Silea, in the province of Treviso. Originally built in the eighteenth century, the residence underwent a major renovation in 1846 that redefined its appearance. During these works, the main structure was raised by one floor, a modification that involved the removal of the original pediment. The construction of the two characteristic side barchesse also dates back to the same nineteenth-century period. Two elegant wrought-iron balconies and two frescoed sundials, evoking the taste of the era, stand out on the villa's facade. Nestled in a large tree-lined garden, the complex stands along the very central Via Roma. Today, the villa represents an important testimony to the architectural and noble heritage of the Treviso area, fitting into the evocative panorama of historic residences along the Sile river.

The Church of San Michele Arcangelo in Quarto d'Altino is a valuable example of neoclassical architecture, consecrated in 1855 to replace the old, now inadequate, parish church. The facade, imposing and harmonious, is defined by four large pilasters supporting a majestic triangular pediment, reflecting a stylistic rigor that dominates the central square. The interior, structured with a single nave, strikes with its luminosity and the elegance of its decorations. Among the notable works are the ceiling frescoes and the marble altars that adorn the side walls. The bell tower, which stands isolated next to the structure, is an iconic landmark for the area. The church is not just a place of worship, but the heart of a community whose roots lie in the history of ancient Altinum, representing the link between Roman memory and the modern vitality of the town overlooking the Sile river.

The church of San Michele Arcangelo in Quarto d'Altino was built on land purchased in 1852 and completed in 1905, based on a design by Costante Gris, in a neoclassical style and with a single nave. The bell tower was built between 1945 and 1956, based on a design by architect Angelo Scattolin. At its summit stands a statue of the patron saint Michael, a 1958 sculpture, designed by Giuseppe Romanelli and executed by Simon Benetton.

Il Bastione San Paolo constitutes a fundamental part of Treviso's 16th-century city walls, located in the north-eastern sector of the city. Designed as part of the defensive enhancement desired by the Serenissima, it presents itself as a massive earth and brick structure, engineered to withstand the modern artillery systems of the time. Currently, the area has lost its military function to become one of the most evocative green areas in the historic center. Its tree-lined avenues offer an elevated panoramic walk overlooking the canals below, once defensive moats. It is a perfect example of urban regeneration, where Renaissance engineering blends with the tranquility of the city's river landscape.

The iron bridge of Quarto d'Altino is a truss metal structure that spans the Sile river, connecting the town center to the hamlet of Musestre in Roncade. This bridge represents a fundamental piece of local industrial archaeology and 20th-century road infrastructure, built to replace the old barge systems and permanently unite the provinces of Venice and Treviso. Characterized by a robust and functional structure, it today allows vehicular and pedestrian traffic at a point in the river where the natural landscape blends with civil architecture. Its metallic aesthetic and the rhythmic sound of cars on its joints make it an iconic and immediately recognizable element for anyone traveling along the banks of the Sile.
