In the medieval times, the town walls of Treviso were considered impenetrable. In the 18th century, during agricultural revolution and the consequent construction of patrician residences in the country side, brought expansion outside the walls.
Ponte Dante connects two parts of the town located along the canal of Cagnan Grande. It is a part of the town known as riviera Garibaldi. Leave a Comment

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.

The charm of Treviso is also given by its cobbled streets with porticos.
As the locals explain, the porticos allow them to walk in the town even when it rains without using the umbrella or getting wet.
And even one of the symbols of Treviso, Loggia dei Cavalieri, it is actually a square portico covered in wood.

Riva Cagnan, along Canale Cagnan, is one of the oldest part of the town. Actually, it is a canal inside the old core of the town which starts at Porta Fra Gioccondo and ends at Ponte Dante. According to many, it is the most pitoresque part of Treviso where most of the old mills still can be seen. Leave a Comment

Piazza dei Signori is the main square in Treviso. It is surrounded by some ancient palaces and by Cal Maggiore; a beautiful porticoed street.
The main sights of this square are the Palazzo dei Trecento; built between 1200 and 1213 to house a meeting hall for the podestà (the Mayor) and the City Council. Adjoining this building you can see the Palazzo del Podestà. This was the Mayor and his family's residence. Leave a Comment
