Discovering the Canals of Treviso, Treviso, Italy

Short description: The Botteniga river enters Treviso, and its waters split into three canals that eventually flow into the Sile river. Let’s go and discover them, passing through some of the most characteristic corners of the city, such as the Cathedral, Piazza dei Signori, and the 'Fontana delle Tette' (Fountain of the Breasts)

A walk like this just had to start near Treviso’s municipal aqueduct, with its building beautifully frescoed with sea-themed designs—if you look closely, you can even spot Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.

We’ll walk towards the center and, once we reach the "PUT" (Viale Fratelli Cairoli), we’ll turn right and cross the street near Porta Caccianiga, which will be our gateway into the city heart. To our left, you'll see the public gardens of Treviso with the monument dedicated to the "Alpino" soldier in the storm.

Let’s step inside the city walls and keep going straight, first along Via Caccianiga and then, past the Borgo Cavour district, onto Via San Liberale until we reach Via Battisti. We’ll turn left and, just before reaching the Cathedral (Duomo), we’ll duck into the portico tucked between the Bishop’s residence and the Edizioni Paoline bookshop. ......
