Walking around the center of the city of Belluno is a tourist route that unravels around the central “Martiri’s square”, the main square of the city, where the people of Belluno meet for walks (locally called Liston), an aperitif and some purchases.
You will discover a particular history of Belluno, made up of ancient and powerful Belluno families with their palaces, areas of religious worship whose oldest dates back to 1500 and a visit to the gates of the cities that give access to the old Belluno.
The itinerary ends with a visit to the two centers of culture in Belluno: the ancient Cinema Italia and the city theater.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TOUR
The route is very easy to follow, suitable also for families with children. All external route. All the buildings are currently inhabited and can only be visited from the outside.
The building is one of most characteristic results of the production designed by the bellunese architect Riccardo Alfarè (1882-1969). It was built in eclectic style in 1926 completely rearranging an older building that in XIX century was the city salt depot, but up to venetian time was the old church of Santa Maria Nova (“the…
The simple XIX century Navasa-Colle house , at the western end of the old Campitello square, was completely modified in the urban completion of the monumental north side of the square in 1939-1940 designed by Alberto Alpago-Novello. To the old plain façade was added the arcade to complete the covered passage along the square, sustaining…
Powerful XVII century building, that up to XIX century maintained its double articulation as an urban residence, with one side looking at the square and the city wall, but also as a country villa, with the back garden looking north to the countryside, and a passage along the square arcades to unite both.It was built…
In 1530 the building was started as a votive church against the plague, than slowly continued and finally completed in 1561, as testified by the coat of arms of the venetian governor Giacomo Salomon (1559) on the left column and of Pietro Loredan (1561) under the statue of St. Roch on the façade. Used by…
Designed in 1939 by architect Alberto Alpago-Novello and built in 1947 to substitute an earlier, lower building with arcades in order to complete the monumental northern side of the square, already altered by the XIX century insertion of the Cappellari della Colmba palace by Giuseppe Segusini, whose dimensions somehow gave the proportion the new building…
In 1835 the architect Giuseppe Segusini built this palace for the nobles Cappellari, the family of Pope Gregory XVI (1765-1846), who was elected to the Holy See on February 2nd 1831. The Pope’s coat of arms added two doves (from Camaldoli’s Benedictine order) on the family’s original coat of arms, and the family itself since…
XVIII century building, originally belonging to the Trois family and then bought by the Malaspina (there’s a little coat of arms on the wrought iron arch in the entrance, at the opening of the stairs). It used to be the ancient Pharmacy of Saint Joseph: the XVIII century sign board painted by Gaspare Diziani, according…
A very elegant palace, built at the beginning of XVI century, with interesting elements dating to the late XV century in the main door, with the Doglioni coat of arms and in the rich leaf capitals of the balcony columns on the façade. Particularly interesting the architectural solution on the left side, with the corner…
The gate got its name from the near corner tower of the city walls, called “Dojon” (which is the local middle age form of the english word “dungeon”), with whom it used to be part of a fortified system, for a short period also bishops castle, on the north-east corner of the ancient walls. The…
Neoclassical building designed by Giuseppe Segusini in 1833-35 on the place of the ancient city grains storage (there is a last piece, the old architrave, fixed to wall on the rear of the theatre), a much smaller building that used to exist beside Porta Dojona, leaning on the city wall . On the façade, similar…
Opened on May 15th 1865, at the end of fifty years of Austrian rule, as a patriotic symbol of the cultural unity of Italy although still divided at that time. Actually it was just a new dedication, since the bronze bust of Dante was placed on top of the older venetian Renier gate, built in…
