Pieve di Cadore

Pieve di Cadore is a mountain community in the Dolomites at roughly 878 meters elevation and serves as the administrative center of the Cadore region. The settlement sits near Venice and is shaped by the surrounding alpine terrain.

The settlement was established as an administrative seat and received significant structures in the 15th century, including the Palazzo della Magnifica Comunità from 1447. These buildings reflect the medieval governance system of the mountain region.

The painter Titian was born here in 1488, and his birthplace can be visited today. This connection to Renaissance art shapes how the community sees itself.

The main highway SS51 connects the community to neighboring areas and surrounding attractions. Cyclists can use the Ciclabile delle Dolomiti bike path as a direct route through the region.

The Museo dell'Occhiale displays around 4,000 pieces documenting eyeglass production and trade history. This collection points to an unexpected industrial heritage that often surprises visitors unfamiliar with the town's manufacturing past.
