\"Conegliano<\/p>\n

First stop: the Castle of Conegliano<\/h2>\n

Our tour of the city starts with one of its main symbols: the\u00a0medieval castle<\/strong>, dating back to the 12th century, which dominates the area from the top of the\u00a0Colle di Giano<\/strong>. Today, part of the original structure remains of the cathedral, a portion of the city walls, and the\u00a0keep<\/strong>, which has been home to the\u00a0City Museum<\/a>\u00a0since 1946. Inside, you can visit the\u00a0Art Gallery<\/strong>, which houses valuable paintings by\u00a0Pordenone\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Palma il Giovane<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

History and folklore in Piazza Cima<\/h2>\n

Conegliano has an intimate and livable historic center, as does nearby\u00a0Treviso, which is an ideal day trip<\/a>\u00a0destination. The main square,\u00a0Piazza Cima<\/strong>, houses some of the most valuable buildings,\u00a0the Town Hall<\/strong>, the 19th-century\u00a0Teatro dell\u2019Accademia<\/strong>, and the 16th-century\u00a0Palazzo da Collo<\/strong>. The square is the heart of town life, the place where the most important events have always been held: above all, the\u00a0festivity of the Dama Castellana<\/strong>, a great historical reenactment of feudal struggles with games and competitions in costume.<\/p>\n

Conegliano, what to visit? A stroll on Contrada Grande<\/h2>\n

Leaving the square, you can proceed onto\u00a0Contrada Grande<\/strong>, which runs through the city from\u00a0Porta Dante\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0Porta Monticano<\/strong>, showcasing its Renaissance soul. With your nose in the air, admire the magnificent terrace of\u00a0stately buildings\u00a0<\/strong>rich in frescoes and carved stone decorations: from\u00a0Palazzo Sarcinelli\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0Casa Longega<\/strong>, passing through the ancient\u00a0Monte di Piet\u00e0<\/strong>. Behind the facades of the buildings stands the magnificent\u00a0Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata and San Leonardo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
