Feltre has it roots in a mythical and glorious past. It used to be a retic center during the years that proceeded our era. It became a Roman city hall during the first half of the first century BC. After that, it went under the Longobard domination, the power of the Count Bishop, the presence of many landlords of Veneto and finally under the Venetian Serenissima domination. Despite all of the troubles that the city went through (in particular, the robbery and the fires that took place during the first years of the XVI century) this little town located in the high Veneto region, still holds claim to many exceptionally beautiful monuments and remains. The old town, which surrounds the five hundred year old Piazza Maggiore, with its renaissance buildings, the old theater, the Coat of Arms Hall, the Alboino castle. From here, many roads and tiny streets begin where we can find beautiful frescoes, buildings, elegant double lancet windows, seats made of engraved stones and views which bring us back to ancient and almost forgotten times. And how should we talk about the wonderful Rizzarda museum, one of the major ancient examples of wrought iron? Once you'll leave the hill through one of its precious ancient doors (Porta Imperiale, Port'Oria or Porta Pusterla), one shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit the archeological area located under the Dome parvis. Recently it has been opened to the public and it shows lots of roman and medieval pieces of work of great interest. Maybe, just one day wouldn't be enough to appreciate the beauties of the mythical Feltria, but one of the places that anybody should absolutely visit is the one thousand year old Sanctuary of S.S. Vittore and Corona, an authentic jewelry piece of the roman art influenced by Byzantine culture. This Sanctuary was an important center of pilgrimage during the past and that finally now a day is regaining its fame after the recent restoration works.
