The tour begins at Porta Inferiore — or Porta dell’Orologio —, where you will immediately see the small 15th-century Chiesa di S. Lorenzo — or dei Battuti (lit. Church of St. Lawrence, or of the Battuti) — on your right. This church houses some important frescoes. From here, you can continue straight ahead along Via Martiri della Libertà to admire beautiful medieval and Renaissance palaces, such as Palazzo Minacci De Carlo (lit. Minacci De Carlo Palace), which houses an interesting museum. Alternatively, to simplify the route, continue along Via Paietta from the little Chiesa di S. Lorenzo to the bridge over the Meschio River. Two towers once stood on either side of the river here, marking the southern boundary of the walls. Before reaching the bridge, turn left and follow the river until you reach the 16th-century Renaissance Piazza Flaminio (lit. Flaminio Square). Overlooking this square stands the Duomo, the main church, which was rebuilt in the 18th century. Beside it is the freestanding Romanesque bell tower of the pre-existing church. The walk then continues along Via Calcada until you reach the base of the monumental Scalinata di S. Augusta (lit. the staircase of St. Augusta), which leads to the homonymous sanctuary. To the left of the staircase, you will see the remains of the city walls, known as ‘Mura Berengarie’, which feature a walkway and a rounded tower on top. If you are wearing comfortable footwear, you can continue on and pass through the Porta della Saracinesca (lit. the Portcullis Gate) into the Rocca di S. Augusta (lit. Fortress of St. Augusta). From the square in front of the sanctuary, you will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view. After a short climb, you will reach the Venetian fortifications at the summit of Mount Marcantone, as well as the ruins of the Torre Nera (lit. the Black Tower). Returning to Piazza Flaminio, you will find the Palazzo della Comunità (lit. the Community Palace), also known as Loggia Serravallese, on the corner with Via Roma. Dating from 1462, this building houses the Museo del Cenedese (lit. Cenedese Museum). Continuing along Via Roma, pass through Porta de Yandre (lit. de Yandre Gate) to reach the southern ramparts of the Castello (the Castle), known as the Castrum: it was the ancient fortified residence of the Da Camino nobles. The Castello can be visited by appointment. To the right of the monumental staircase leading to the Castrum, beyond a small portico, stands the last remaining arch of the Porta della Pusterla (lit. the Postern Gate), also known as the Porta dello Spalto (lit. Gate of the Spalto). This was once the gateway to the Meschio River. As you walk alongside the Castrum, you will pass Porta di S. Giovanni (lit. St. John’s Gate), also known as Porta della Muda or Porta de Sora (lit. della Muda or de Sora Gate). If you turn left here, you can see the remains of one of the shield towers and a section of the northern curtain wall. If you return and continue straight on, you can see the northern side of the Castrum, which is dominated by the round bastioned tower. Further along Via Caprera, on the right, stands the Romanesque Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista (lit. Church of St. John the Baptist). Founded in 1357, it contains fine 15th-century frescoes. A few hundred metres north, the Chiesa di S. Giustina (lit. the Church of St. Giustina) is well worth a visit. It was built in 1226 by the noble Da Camino family alongside a monastery that no longer exists. Inside lies the important tomb of Rizzardo da Camino. On the way back, take Via Piai next to the Museo del Cenedese. A challenging walk along a section of the Piai walls leads past the remains of the small Chiesa di S. Antonio Abate (lit. the Church of St. Anthony the Abbot) and up to the peaks above, where ancient fortifications can be seen. Finally, heading south through the modern centre of Vittorio Veneto, we recommend visiting the monuments of the ‘Roman’ Ceneda: the Museo della Battaglia (lit. the Battle Museum); the Loggia di Sansovino (lit. Sansovino Loggia) — the town’s former town hall —; the Cattedrale (lit. the Cathedral); and the Castello di S. Martino (lit. the Castle of St. Martin), which is likely of Lombard origin and has been a splendid bishop’s residence for centuries.
