The history of the town goes back into the Roman period when Treviso was Roman municipium. The town reached its greatest prosperity in the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a Lombard duchy, then the capital of a Carolingian marca and finaly, after 1389 the stronghold of the northwestern border of Venetian republic. The town is situated on two rivers, Sile and Botteniga. This is Via Roggia, probably the most beautiful street of Treviso. On the left side there are the houses with the porticoes, known as "androna tedesca", while on the right side it is a canal Roggia with small bridges and gardens.

Located in the heart of the city, it is said that San Gaetano is one of the smallest churches in Treviso.
Built at the beginning of the XIII century, from the old church left today only some frescoes from the Romanic times.
At the beginning of XIV century, the Gerosolimitani (Malta knights) took the church and changed its name into "San Giovanni al Tempio".
In the XVI century, when the church was dedicated to the Vicenza saint, the name of the church was changed again into the current one of San Gaetano da Thiene.
Canale Siletto
by Diana75
Siletto is one of the 3 canals that run through the downtown of Treviso.
Together with the river Sile and other smaller rivers, Siletto has for Treviso the same importance as the channels for Venice.
These are supplying the necessary water for the green areas in the city, transforming Treviso in a real garden city.
Chiesa di San Leonardo
by STEFZAMM
This is a very small church which is currently being restored. The story goes back to 1330 when it was originally a hospital, called Hospital of St Leonard. It has been demolished and re done so many times since then and until this very day the frescoes inside are once again being restored. When I visited I couldn't see much but managed to take a picture of some paintings.
