Art and history in Altivole

The original Santa Fosca church in Altivole was built in the 17th century and destroyed on 25 February 1695 by the Santa Costanza earthquake. On the south wall of the Church of Saints Vitus and Companions Martyrs is the painting “The Last Supper” by Marco Vecellio, dating from 1606. The combination of architectural history, the history of destruction and painting gives this part of your trip planning a clear historical and artistic direction.

Venetian architecture with visible traces of time

The Barco della Regina Cornaro is a barchessa of a Venetian villa in Altivole and is now in a state of desolate decay. The former Barco della Regina Cornaro complex included a hunting park of approximately 45 hectares. The central loggia has five round-arched arcades supported by small Ionic-order columns. The combination of Venetian villa architecture, a former hunting park and precise arcade design gives the building a clear architectural profile.
