Overview
In the splendid setting of the Treviso hills, immersed in woods and rows of vines, lies the village of Asolo, whose architecture and town planning still tell visitors of its historical events. The first thing that strikes you on arriving is the Rocca, a mighty fortress that dominates the town from the top of Mount Ricco. Built between the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century, it is connected to the urban centre by walls begun by the Carraresi in 1388 and completed by the Venetians. It was under Venetian rule that Asolo reached its greatest splendour, particularly during the rule of Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus: the castle, inside which today stands the theatre dedicated to Eleonora Duse, became her residence and during her stay she hosted artists and men of letters, who made Asolo the place of culture that it is today.
