Castelfranco Veneto

The Venetian plain shapes the setting of Castelfranco Veneto — level ground has allowed its compact medieval walls to remain a clear landmark amid the towns and farmland of central Veneto. The fortified core was established in 1195 by the commune of Treviso as a defensive outpost, and its brick ramparts still enclose streets, small squares and civic life. Castelfranco Veneto is also the birthplace of Renaissance painter Giorgione; his Castelfranco Altarpiece is kept in the town’s cathedral. Rail connections and roads place the town between Treviso, Vicenza and Padua, making it a practical base for exploring this part of the region.
