Three localities of inestimable landscape, artistic and historical value
The territory of the Municipality of Cappella Maggiore in the province of Treviso, located near the majestic and uncontaminated forest sites of the Cansiglio and lapped by the clear, cold waters of the Frida stream and the Meschio river, offers landscape scenarios of incredible naturalistic and panoramic value: from the radiant hillsides dominated by thousand-year-old palaces and fortresses, to the spectacular extensions of DOP vineyards of excellent quality, as well as lush natural oases populated by a rich and vibrant arboreal, floral and faunal heritage that shelters colorful avian species of rare beauty such as the lark, the yellowhammer and the ortolan bunting.
The richness of the archaeological, cultural and environmental panorama of this small but splendid municipality awaits only to be discovered and explored. Are you ready to venture into some of the most evocative treasures of art and architecture of this splendid municipality in the Treviso area?
Visit the Church of the Most Holy Trinity
Located in Via Mattarella, 31012 Cappella Maggiore in the province of Treviso (TV), the Church of the Mattarella is a true gem of the artistic and historical heritage of the municipality thanks to the spectacular and ancient pictorial apparatus preserved inside.
The structure of the small sanctuary, built more than a thousand years ago, presents itself as a sober and bare building with exposed brick walls, whose austere appearance contrasts with the splendid cycle of frescoes that adorns the only nave of the church, from which the splendid scene of the Last Supper emerges.
The banquet scene portrays six apostles to the left of Christ and five to his right, while Judas Iscariot is depicted in reduced size on the other side of the table and without a halo.
Another work of notable artistic and historical importance is the cycle of fresco paintings depicting biblical scenes such as the Adoration of the Magi. The pictorial representation of the biblical episode stands out on the lunette of the north wall and reveals the figure of the white steed with noble bearing adorned with luxurious trappings. In front of the horse, the infant Jesus is represented in the act of receiving the gifts of the Magi, while in the lower register seven apostles emerge placed within elegant round arches.
If you are wondering what to see in Cappella Maggiore, the Church of the Most Holy Trinity is an unmissable destination for those who wish to explore the formidable historical heritage of the area.
Castelletto in Cappella Maggiore
The ancient fortified palace, located in via Castelletto, 30, 31012 Cappella Maggiore (TV) is one of the most representative monuments of the municipality thanks to its majestic structure that stands out in the Cenedese area, in the naturalistic context of the hilly countryside of the Marca Trevigiana.
The uncertainty regarding the origins of the sumptuous fortress increases its charm and envelops it in a suggestive aura of mystery.
The massive defensive complex, which remained in a state of abandonment until the second half of the 20th century, was later recovered and restored and today constitutes a splendid location for organizing events and weddings in the spectacular and serene rural atmosphere of Cappella Maggiore.
