ファッラ・ディ・ソリーゴの洞窟・トップ8

スゼッサーナの町を見下ろすサン・サルヴァトーレ城は、イタリアで最も印象的な中世後期の要塞の一つであり、コッラルト伯爵家の権力の象徴です。13世紀から建設され、時とともに華やかなルネサンス様式の邸宅へと姿を変え、国際的に重要な文化の中心地となりました。ピアーヴェ戦線の最前線にあった第一次世界大戦中に甚大な被害を受けましたが、コッラルト家によって丁寧に修復されました。現在、城壁と素晴らしい空中庭園が訪問者を迎え、プロセッコの丘の息をのむような景色を提供し、芸術、戦い、そして優れたワイン醸造の伝統に彩られた8世紀にわたる貴族の歴史を物語っています。

The castle can be visited! Every first Wednesday of the month with prior online registration.

The Castle of San Salvatore in Susegana, owned by the Collalto counts (privately owned), is an imposing medieval fortified complex, built in the second half of the 13th century as a strategic fortress. It later became a stately home and cultural center during the Renaissance, hosting artists such as Cima da Conegliano and writers such as Giovanni Della Casa. It suffered extensive damage during the First World War before being restored for special events.

The picturesque village of Cison di Valmarino, dominated by the imposing Castelbrando, is an excellent destination for mountain biking, with routes immersed in the Prosecco hills and lush woods. The itineraries offer challenging climbs and technical descents, with passages through ancient paths and historic mule tracks. The Via dell’Acqua route and the tracks towards Monte Cesen offer breathtaking views and complete immersion in nature.

Castelbrando, a grand medieval castle, sits on a dolomitic limestone rock at an altitude of 370m above sea level, overlooking the villages of Cison di Valmarino and Valmareno. The name is due to the Brandolini family from Forlì, who were the lords of the castle. The castle was originally built in Roman times to protect the Via Claudia Augusta, which connected the Po valley to Rhaetia (modern Austria). The original castrum from 46 AD is still visible. A recent archaeological dig has uncovered a bread oven and the original Roman baths, as well as the original pipes of the aqueduct that supplied water from three nearby natural springs. These springs still provide water for the castle. Later the fortress became an important defensive position against barbarian invasions. During the 13th century the castle was significantly enlarged and the imposing battlements and central tower were added. The castle was awarded by the Republic of Venice to the condottieri Giovanni Brandolino and Erasmo da Narni, better known as "Gattamelata". After the fall of the Venetian Republic it became the property of the Brandolini Counts. In 1700 the castle was expanded with the southern part and the castle chapel, the church of San Martino. During World War I, the castle was invaded by Imperial Austrian troops and used as a military hospital. After 10 years of restoration work, the castle was reopened as a residence in 1929. In 1959, the castle was sold by the Brandolini family to the Salesian Fathers, who used it as a monastery and as a center for spiritual studies. In 1997, CastelBrando was purchased by Quaternary Investments SpA, who transformed it into a 4-star hotel, museum and theater. Visitors can take the cable car to the castle from the village.
