Asolo
is a nice medieval city, still preserved in the years.
Protected on the hills, it has a Mediterranean microclimate which, together
with the romantic landscape, has always attracted lots of important and
famous artists, noble and intellectuals.
Works of big historic, artistic and cultural value are the palaces, porticos
and alleys.
Dominated by the massive shape of the stronghold, Asolo preserves antique
churches and rich palaces, among narrow streets and latches, sweet slopes
with antique abodes in the green of olive trees and cypresses.
In the middle of the town there is Garibaldi Square,
with the ‘500 fountain overhung by the winged lion of S.
Marco.
From here you can easily reach the most beautiful monuments
of Asolo:
• the Castle, medieval fortification;
• the theatre, dedicated to Eleonora Duse
• Palazzo della Regione, built in the '400s with
the main facade with frescos by Contarini (presently it is the Civic Museum
Centre)
• the Medieval Cathedral, historical Episcopalian
Centre, revised in the '700s with a project by Giorgio Massari
• Piazza Brugnoli, where anciently the Roman thermal
baths were placed
• Villa Scotti – Pasini of the ‘700s
