Asolo

Located in the Prealpi hills at 210 meters elevation, Asolo contains narrow streets, stone buildings, and Renaissance palaces within ancient defensive walls.

The settlement evolved from a Roman municipium into a Venetian Republic stronghold, later serving as residence for Caterina Cornaro, former Queen of Cyprus.

The Civic Museum displays regional artifacts, while the restored medieval castle features regular theater performances in its former royal audience hall.

Visitors reach Asolo through regional buses from Treviso, with accommodations available in converted historical buildings throughout the old town center.

The Asolo Theatre, originally built in 1798, was dismantled and relocated to Florida, USA, where it now forms part of the Ringling Museum.
