Casale sul Sile: River Landscape and Venetian Culture

Casale sul Sile combines a protected river landscape with evidence of Venetian architectural and art history. The Zona Speciale di Conservazione Fiume Sile da Treviso Est a San Michele Vecchio also includes Casale sul Sile. If you are planning a trip to Italy based on different interests, you will find opportunities here for outdoor activities, local history and excursions to museums and historic sites.

River Landscape and Routes along the Sile

In the protected area Zona Speciale di Conservazione Fiume Sile da Treviso Est a San Michele Vecchio, the riverbanks and embankments offer walking and cycling routes. These routes continue as a Greenway to the Venetian Lagoon and on to Jesolo. This makes it possible to explore the landscape from different perspectives: on foot along the river or by bicycle on a longer route through the water-shaped surroundings. The River Sile east of Treviso is also used for recreational boating and tourism. This includes traditional Venetian rowing boats, rafts, canoes and kayaks. For your planning, this provides a choice between land-based routes and activities on the water, without requiring both experiences to be part of the same itinerary.

Church, Tower and Art

The Torre Carrarese stands at Porto San Nicolò behind the parish church in Casale sul Sile. It was circular in shape and formed part of a fortification. Directly associated with this historic site is the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta: it was built in the 18th-century Venetian style and has three naves. The frescoes on the ceiling of the central nave and the presbytery were painted by Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727–1804).

The Biblioteca Comunale di Casale sul Sile is also an independent part of the local cultural offering. It is housed in Villa Bembo Caliari. Alongside the parish church and the Torre Carrarese, the library and Villa Bembo Caliari are therefore also part of the local cultural offering.
