City wall of Treviso

The fortification system spans 4 kilometers around the city center, featuring thick brick walls with an Istrian stone stringcourse at two-thirds height.

The Republic of Venice commissioned these defensive walls in 1509 to strengthen Treviso's position as a mainland stronghold against potential invasions.

Three monumental gates mark the entry points to the city: Porta San Tomaso in the north, Porta Santi Quaranta in the west, and Porta Altinia in the south.

Visitors can walk along the perimeter of the walls, accessing different sections of the historic center through the preserved Renaissance-era gates.

The walls incorporate an advanced hydraulic system that created protective water channels, integrating natural elements into the city's defense strategy.
