Campodoro: History, Treviso-Ostiglia and Regional Destinations

Campodoro Between History and Routes

Campodoro reveals its distinctive features both in its local history and in the routes that pass through the municipal area. The origins of the settlements that make up the municipality of Campodoro certainly date back to before the year 1000. The first official document mentioning Bevadoro and Campodoro dates from 1231.

A notable cultural and historical reference is the Church of Santa Margherita in Campodoro. It can be traced back to the late 12th century as a parish church. This provides you with a specific point of reference if you would like to explore local history through a church and its long development.

Treviso-Ostiglia and Bevadoro

For active days, the Treviso-Ostiglia cycling and walking route takes center stage. It crosses the municipal area of Campodoro diagonally and was created on the track bed of the former military railway of the same name. The railway connection remains part of the route’s history. If you would like to combine cycling and walking with the region’s past, this topic provides clear guidance.

The Bevadoro railway station is also part of the history of the area. It has been partially restored; initially, it bore the name “Campodoro-Camisano” and later “Campodoro.” In the local history, you therefore encounter two names connected with Bevadoro and Campodoro.

Cultural Destinations in the Surrounding Area

The area around Campodoro contains several cultural destinations of different types. Villa Contarini is a museum, Villa Emo Capodilista a palace, Esapolis a museum and Palazzo Maldura a palace. Depending on your personal interests, you can incorporate museums and palaces into your exploration of the region without losing sight of Campodoro’s own local history.

The wider region around Campodoro also contains three distinctly different landscape destinations: Arco Vallaresso is a natural arch, while Monte della Madonna and Monte Venda are mountains. For those interested in landscapes, natural formations and mountain destinations thus stand alongside the museums and palaces in the nearby area.

The Giardino Cavalleggeri di Padova, a garden, is another destination in the surrounding area. A large tractor exhibition was presented at the Festa dea Trebiatura in Campodoro. The garden and the festival provide two different points of focus: one is a landscaped place, the other an event featuring a large tractor exhibition.

Interests for Planning Your Trip

If you organize your days according to areas of interest, you can consider the local history separately from the routes and destinations in the surrounding area. Santa Margherita, Bevadoro, the origins before the year 1000 and the year 1231 form the historical part. Treviso-Ostiglia adds cycling and walking themes, while museums, palaces, the garden, mountains and the natural arch direct your attention to the nearby area and the wider region.
