Triches between the church, villa, and historic paths

Triches brings together local history, architectural heritage, archaeology, paths, and regional cuisine. This gives you various ways to plan your trip: you can explore the Church of San Bartolomeo and its frescoes, view Villa Tasso, interpret the traces of a Late Neolithic settlement, or follow routes through Triches and the Valmorel area.

San Bartolomeo: architectural history and painting

The Church of San Bartolomeo in Triches was first mentioned in 1526. In 1807, it was elevated to the status of a branch church of the Pieve di San Giustina di Limana and provided the inhabitants of Triches and Navenze with the sacraments. Its history is therefore closely linked to the religious life of these two places.

In 1974, frescoes from the early 16th century were discovered on the presbytery wall, that is, in the area of the altar. Further frescoes depict the Evangelists and the hieratically portrayed Eternal Father; they date from the mid-18th century. A depiction of the church's patron saint, San Bartolomeo, shows him in an apparently potentially dynamic pose; he is wearing a red cassock-like tunic.

Villa Tasso and older traces

Villa Tasso is associated with the villas of the Istituto Regionale Ville Venete and forms part of the historic and cultural architectural heritage of the municipality of Limana. The very small, strikingly tall building has a cubic structure and stands in a panoramic and commanding position. It is believed to date from the 18th century.

A Late Neolithic settlement existed in Triches di Limana. It probably consisted of a few huts on a level area at the foot of a hill offering panoramic views over the Val Belluna, just a few steps from the present-day center of Triches. Numerous flint artifacts from the area around Triches have been dated to the final phase of the Neolithic. They include blades and bladelets, scrapers, burins, awls, flakes, and cores, but above all arrowheads.

The Edicola di Santa Barbara is also located in Triches.

Paths through Triches and the Valmorel area

The Anello di Valmorel circular route passes through Triches as well as Giaon, Valmorel, Navenze, Polentes, Ricomes, Dussoi, and Limana. It runs along asphalt and roads and includes a short section on a nature trail. This combination makes the route more concrete for personal tour planning without classifying it as an exclusively natural-surface trail.

A route from Limana to Valmorel via the municipal road through Val Fiera passes through Cesa, Pieve, Canè, Triches, Navenze, and Valmorel. It includes 12 wayside shrines and 5 wayside chapels. The sequence of places and the religious stations along the route give it a distinctive cultural and historical focus.

Connections and historical surroundings

Dolomiti Bus line 22 connects Belluno FS, Limana, Polentes, Triches, and Trichiana. The line's route helps place the town in its geographical context and can be taken into account when planning a trip with several stops.

In the wider regional surroundings of Triches, the now completely unrecognizable medieval castle site of San Pietro in Tuba stood on the hill of the same name at the entrance to Valpiana, along the road from Giaon to Valmorel.

Cuisine from the Belluno area

L’Oasi offers typical cuisine from the Belluno area, dishes from the Venetian tradition, and home-style cuisine interpreted in-house. Alongside the historical and landscape-related themes, this also provides a culinary connection to the region.
