Trebaseleghe: Church Art, Mills and Cycling History

Trebaseleghe between culture, riverside landscapes and cycling themes

Trebaseleghe can be explored through specific cultural and landscape sites as well as various cycling-related attractions. Religious architecture, mills along the Marzenego, a folkloric event and the history of a former railway line each provide a different focus. For travel planning, the Church of Santa Maria, the mills along the Marzenego and the former railway line of the Treviso–Ostiglia cycle route can be considered separately.

A fixed date on the calendar is the Antica Fiera dei Mussi, also known as the Fiera di Santa Maria. This folkloric event takes place annually on September 7 in Trebaseleghe and commemorates a cattle market documented since the 14th century.

Churches and documented history

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria is a large three-aisled church. Its aisles are separated by pointed arches supported by columns. The church also contains the polyptych of Saint Sebastian, created by Andrea da Murano. In addition, there is an altarpiece depicting the Birth of Mary, created around 1598 by Jacopo Palma the Younger.

Another historic church is located in Fossalta, a hamlet of Trebaseleghe. The Chiesa parrocchiale di San Giacomo apostolo is a filial church of the Pieve di Trebaseleghe and is first mentioned in 1199.

Mills, trails and cycling history

Characteristic mills stand along the banks of the Marzenego River. They are considered evidence of history and tradition and can be visited along a sightseeing trail. The Treviso–Ostiglia cycle route follows a former railway line that was built for military purposes in 1930 and decommissioned after the Second World War.

Along the Treviso–Ostiglia cycle route, there is a bicycle rental service in Trebaseleghe at Bike Park km 99. A circular cycling route between mills, rivers and lakes is also offered as a route for experienced cyclists. When planning a bike tour, the bicycle rental service at Bike Park km 99 and the route between mills, rivers and lakes can be considered separately.
