Oderzo

The Venetian city of Oderzo spans across the Monticano river, featuring ancient Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and Renaissance architecture throughout its historic center.

Originally called Opitergium, the settlement evolved from a Veneti market town into a Roman municipium in 48 BC, reaching 50,000 inhabitants during the 1st century AD.

The Archaeological Museum in Palazzo Foscolo displays an extensive collection of Roman mosaics, Venetic inscriptions, ancient coins, and tombstones from the region.

The town center connects to major Veneto cities through regular public transportation, with guided tours available for exploring the open-air archaeological sites.

Visitors can walk through an underground tunnel between Piazza Grande and Piazza Castello to observe a preserved Roman road with its original paving stones.
