The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Located in the historic heart of the pretty town in the upper Paduan area, the majestic red brick mass of the archpriest church stands out for its gabled façade vertically tripartite by four pilasters.
The place of worship is accessible through three wooden portals, the central one preceded by a white prothyrum crowned by a statue of Mary. The side entrances are topped by archivolt arches surmounted by two cusp-shaped structures, supported by corbels and flanked by Celtic crosses.
Notable architectural elements also include the elaborate rose window adorned with a Greek cross, the precious motif of hanging arches that follows the profile of the roof slopes, and the five white spires that accentuate the verticality of the structure.
Characterized by a Latin cross plan illuminated by single lancet windows, the church is divided into three naves marked by wide round arches and houses precious marble altars and refined wooden crucifixes.
The Ciclovia dell’Acqua
To embark on the serene cycling and walking route, you can leave your car near Parco Draganziolo on Via Vito Pattaro, 13.
The path winds along the clear spring-fed stream from which the park gets its name. The floodplain of the lively stream is dotted with lush tree and shrub varieties surrounding large grassy areas equipped for barbecues.
If you are wondering what to do in Trebaseleghe and want to take a pleasant walk in a relaxing, unspoiled environment, crossed by pretty little bridges and shaded by majestic willows, acacias, alders and towering poplars, the Ciclovia dell’Acqua offers enchanting views of a lush and timeless landscape.
Tarvisium Celtica
The cultural and musical event Tarvisium Celtica evokes the costumes and ancient customs of the Northern European ethnic group that during the Iron Age inhabited the dark and impenetrable forests lapped by the icy courses of the Rhine and Danube.
What envelops this ancient civilization in an aura of almost irresistible fascination and mystery is the extraordinary universe of symbols, magical creatures and archetypes that over millennia oral tradition has managed to root in the collective imagination through thrilling legends spread throughout the world.
Every summer, in the pleasant green area of Parco Draganziolo, the folklore of the Celtic peoples comes to life through historical reenactments, musical performances, fights in period costumes, stories and dances around bonfires lit in the center of large encampments.
The event also pays homage to the Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon peoples (particularly evocative and exciting are the bagpipe and percussion concerts) and to the great Roman civilization, to which lessons are dedicated on military art, medicine, commerce and even writing and weaving.
