The Palazzo del Comune, one of the most attractive building in Piazza Liberta, was built in 1582 but the graceful loggia decorating it belongs to the 15th century. On the facade, overlooking Piazza Liberta, one can admire the great Orologio (Clock) constructed by B. Ferracina in 1747 and decorated with the signs of the Zodiac, and the important 16th century fresco representing St. Christofer.

The Civic Musuem is one of the oldest in the Veneto region. It was built in1828 on the site of the convent of St Francis. It houses a collection of paintings by the Da Ponti family, Guariento and Magnasco, a collection of prints by the Remondini family. There is also an archaeological section and pieces by Antonio Canova.
The bridge was destroyed during last world war, it was reconstructed by ANA (National Association of Alpine Infantry), and from that day is known as Ponte degli Alpini (Bridge of the Alpine Soldiers).
It is the town's symbol nowadays.
This shop is still in ancient style, and it's not the only one you can find in Bassano. If you are in Piazzotto Montevecchio, don't miss to eat the bread in "Beltrame shop"... it's very very good, probably the best you can find in Bassano (and in all this town you can find a superb bread).
