Treviso canals
by Diana75
In a certain way, the canals make Treviso very similar to Venezia.
The old walls and the canals formed around it by the rivers Sile and Cagnan, give Treviso the aspect of a fortress.
The river Sile is crossing Treviso from west to east, while Cagnan (called Botteniga until it arrives to Treviso) passes under the old Ponte Fra’ Giocondo.
Once passed the city walls, Cagnan splits in three directions: on the west Roggia and then Siletto, in the middle Cagnan de Mezo (or dei Buranelli, delle Beccherie or dell’Ospedale according to the area it passes through) and in the east Cagnan Grande or delle Pescheria.
Navigated today only by geese and swans, the canals are an important part of Treviso life.
weird little clothing store on via roggia
by jtogneri
While walking around Treviso one day, underneath the porticos of via roggia, by the duomo of treviso, i found this peculiar clothing store with no apparent name, logo or sign. What I discovered is it's owned by an American fashion designer named "Holly Krueger."
you shoudl really check this out. She makes all of her clothes by hand, and the designs are very cool.
Monumento ai Cadutti di Tutte le Guerre
by suvanki
Leaving Corso Del Popolo, I turned left and came upon a square- Piazza Della Vittoria, which was surrounded by some impressive buildings, and its centrepiece - this large monument.
Now, I'm having difficulties finding out anything about this monument. I'm guessing that it's a memorial to all victims of war, but it could be just to those of Italian or even Treviso birthrite!
Well it was quite an impressive piece of art, with its stone Roman (or Greek) style Temple and bronze Verdi Gris figures.
It made me smile to see a young couple sat entwined and kissing on the steps - for me a typically Italian scene!
Hoping to find out some more about this monument!
Chiesa di San Francesco
by croisbeauty
The church of San Francesco, St. Francis, is situated in the northern part of the city, very close to the fortified city walls. It is a large brick church built in the 13th century. The simple front facade, almost without decorative motivs, indicate that it was built in the Romanesque style.
Palazzo del Podesta'
by Diana75
Palazzo del Podesta', also called Palazzo della Prefettura, because today it hosts the prefect's office, is one of the main buildings in Piazza dei Signori.
Due the fact that the buildings in the square were not reaching the required level of standard in order to host the public administration, in the 13th century the decision to built a new palace was taken.
The palace served as residence for the Podesta' of Treviso, which was not supposed to be neither from Treviso nor from the surrounding area, and had to move here with all the relatives.
