Attractions and Places To See around Maserada Sul Piave - Top 20

Porta San Tommaso is the most imposing of Treviso's gates.

Built in 1518 under the direction of the podestà Paolo Nani, Porta San Tommaso is the most imposing of Treviso's three 16th-century gates. Probably designed by Fra’ Giovanni Giocondo, it is distinguished by its lavish Istrian stone facade, conceived more as a Renaissance triumphal arch than a simple military structure. The external facade is richly decorated with trophies, coats of arms, and the monumental Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of Venetian rule. A curious detail concerns the statue placed on top: it depicts Saint Paul, a tribute to the podestà Nani (Paolo), although the gate takes its name from the nearby church dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket. Inside, the structure preserves the large arches that once housed the guardrooms and drawbridge mechanisms, still representing today the main access point for those coming from the north.

A few kilometers were enough for the route to begin to tell its story. The creaking wood of a long bridge accompanied us towards one of the most silent and memory-laden places: the cemetery of the Burci. Amidst the still water and the vegetation that now reclaims every space, the wrecks of old boats emerge like forgotten thoughts, suspended between past and present. There time seems to slow down, almost to stop, and we too, for a moment, truly stop pedaling...

A city gate from the 16th century that was part of Treviso's defense system. Today you can cycle through the gate into the beautiful old town.

Treviso is a fortified medieval city with 3 entrances or gates: Porta San Tommaso to the north, Porta Santi Quaranta to the west and Porta Altinia to the south.

Treviso, the charming provincial town, is also called "Little Venice" because of the many canals that run through its center. The central square is Piazza dei Signore, with its Palazzo dei Treccento dating from the 13th century. A green rampart, 5 km long, encloses the historic center. There are three remaining city gates, of which the Porta Santi Quaranta is the best preserved. This imposing white city gate is not to be missed. There are also many works of art and fountains to discover. The Fontana delle Tette is the most remarkable hidden gem 😜. The numerous arcades invite you to stroll beneath them on sunny days. Shop windows reflect the current fashions on the streets. Benneton, Sisley, and Geox are all at home here in Treviso. On Piazza Indipendenza, you'll find Benneton's large flagship. The Buranelli district gave us a taste of Venice. A must-see highlight is the "Il Cagnan A Ponte De Pria." This location has regulated the city's water supply for centuries. Another special place not to be missed is the Fish Market. This market was built on a small island during the Austrian occupation in 1856. Unfortunately, there was no activity during our visit. (Market every day except Mondays 😪). History buffs should definitely see the large WWI war memorial in Piazza della Vittoria. Quite impressive. As in many Italian cities, Treviso also has several churches worth visiting. The Duomo is the most impressive cathedral. Unfortunately, the Santa Lucia church was closed. This church was once a prison complex. Here you can admire beautiful ceiling paintings. In short: a lovely city with something for everyone. History, Art, Shop, and Go Practical: use the parking lot at the train station. It's just a stone's throw from the old town.

Special wildlife, interesting landscape.

Very beautiful square, lined with historic buildings. Several restaurants invite you to linger. The right place to take a short break and capture the perspectives.
