Quinto Di Treviso

Quinto Di Treviso between the Sile and cultural history

Quinto Di Treviso can be explored through its landscape along the Sile, historic buildings and several themed routes. When choosing a hotel in Quinto Di Treviso, you can primarily assess the area based on its natural attractions, cultural history and the type of route described. The highlights range from a biotope of considerable importance for nature conservation to works of art, villas and evidence from several centuries.

Natural surroundings along the Sile and paths through Cervara

The Oasi di Cervara is a biotope of high importance for nature conservation. The area is classified as a Site of Community Importance (S.I.C.) to provide refuge for wildlife and preserve the wild-growing flora of the Sile. This places a clearly defined natural area at the center, whose importance derives not only from its landscape but also from its protected status.

The route “GiraSile: Per Borghi e Campagne intorno all'Oasi di Cervara” focuses on the old Palù di Cervara, now known as “Oasi Cervara.” Springs, storks and owls characterize this natural area. The food and wine route “Strada del Radicchio di Treviso e Variegato di Castelfranco” follows the course of the Sile River and passes through Quinto di Treviso. The two routes have different focuses: one leads into the natural area of Cervara, while the other follows the Sile through Quinto di Treviso.

Art, churches and historic villas

In the Chiesa di Santa Cristina, you can admire the altarpiece “Madonna and Child with Saints and the Dead Christ” by Lorenzo Lotto, dating from 1504–1505. The church itself was rebuilt around 1930 in hybrid Romanesque-Gothic forms. Thus, this site combines an early modern work of art with a later architectural renewal. The altarpiece is therefore significantly older than the church building in its present form.

Mulino Cervara is also documented as early as 1325. Villa Ciardi is one of the area's most significant architectural buildings. It was opened to the public only on the occasion of special events promoted by the Municipality of Quinto di Treviso and the Pro Loco.

The history of Villa Memo Giordani is documented by a specific record. The oldest document mentioning the villa is a Venetian register for the tax assessment of land from 1682. It names Nobil Homo Costantino Memmo as the owner.

Routes and orientation on site

The “Ex Ferrovia Ostiglia” route runs along paved roads or well-maintained unpaved paths. For the “Ex Ferrovia Ostiglia” route, car parks are indicated opposite the Quinto town hall or on Via Baracca.
