A riverside embankment path offers several routes for walking. This makes it possible to combine your stay with culture, walks and shared experiences.

Cultural traces from pre-Roman times to the 20th century

The Museo Archeologico Eno Bellis was opened to the public in 1881 and is now located in the barchessa of Palazzo Foscolo. The pre-Roman section presents Venetic inscriptions, votive bronzes, zoomorphic terracottas, and iron and bronze horse equipment from a horse burial.

The Roman section displays finds from Roman wells, stone funerary monuments from the Opitergine necropolis, valuable grave goods, bronzes and household furnishings. At the end of the tour, multicoloured late antique mosaics are displayed. They once decorated the floor of a wealthy urban domus.

The Area del Foro Romano e Domus via Mazzini preserves visible remains of a forum from the Augustan period. These include a paved square with an established width of 40 metres and a length of at least 98.7 metres. The site also includes remains associated with the urban basilica, as well as the foundation of a monumental staircase probably belonging to the city’s Capitolium, a temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad.

The Domus via Mazzini also preserves vivid details, including mosaic floors and the remains of a room heated by a hypocaust, which is attributed to the house’s thermal area. The Duomo di San Giovanni Battista preserves works by Palma il Giovane, Pomponio Amalteo and Andrea Bellunello.

The Museo del Duomo presents sacred artworks and liturgical furnishings from the 16th to the 20th century. The museum includes a cycle of five paintings depicting scenes from the life of John the Baptist, created by Pomponio Amalteo in 1546 as oil paintings on canvas.

Casa Ottoboni-Saccomani is located in Piazza Grande and is decorated with 16th-century frescoes. The preserved historic entrance, Porta di Treviso, is also known as Toresin or Torresin.
