Belluno
Here, the border between city and nature is imperceptible: the majestic peaks of the Dolomites surround the historic centre of Belluno, where art and architecture relate a past intertwined with Venice. Since 1404, under the Serenissima (Republic of Venice), the city still retains details that reveal its Venetian influence, such as the elegant facades of the palaces or Borgo Piave, an ancient river port from which the rafts loaded with timber for the shipyards departed.
Crossing the Piave River, you enter the historic centre of the city. Piazza Duomo awaits you here, surrounded by the Cathedral of San Martino, Palazzo dei Rettori with its clock tower and Palazzo Rosso, still the town hall today.
Palazzo Fulcis, home to the Civic Museums, houses a rich collection ranging from archaeology to modern art.
When it's time for a short break, Piazza dei Martiri welcomes you with its outdoor cafes and boutiques under the colonnades. And if you have more time, don't miss the opportunity to taste typical dishes and delicacies, such as pastìn (pork and beef sausage) and schiz (cheese)
Outside Belluno, nestled among the mountains and valleys, other villages and cities of art are a refuge for excursions and explorers in search of contact with the most unknown natural sites, adrenaline and stories that only the Belluno Dolomites can offer.
Did you know that Belluno is the only provincial capital whose municipal territory includes part of a national park? Leaving behind churches, frescoes and museums, you can admire a much older art form, sculpted by nature. The Belluno Dolomites National Park is a precious ecosystem that, starting from 412 metres, reaches an altitude of 2,565, breaking through the limits of the sky
