スセガ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で魅力的な後期中世の要塞の一つです。14世紀にコッラルト伯爵家によって設立されたこの城は、時を経て、ヴェネトで最も古い家系の一つであるコッラルト家の権力の象徴、真の要塞化された都市へと発展しました。第一次世界大戦中に甚大な被害を受けたにもかかわらず、城は、壮大な城壁、塔、オドアルド宮殿を保存した丁寧な修復のおかげで、時代を超越した魅力を保っています。丘陵地帯のブドウ畑の息をのむような風景に囲まれたこの複合施設は、厳格な軍事建築とプロセッコ地方の中心にある貴族の邸宅の優雅さを融合させ、歴史的および文化的に不可欠なランドマークとなっています。

Conegliano Castle dominates the city from its hilltop position. The first document mentioning it dates back to 1016 AD, but the structure reached its maximum extension in the fourteenth century, thanks to the influence of the Scaligeri and Carraresi rulers.

Castello Papadopoli Giol is a splendid palace in English neo-Gothic style with ancient origins. On this site, in 1192, the Patriarchs had a defense fort built; since then the name "castle" will remain linked to the place on which this primitive fortress stood. Among the subsequent restoration interventions, the most appreciable are due to the Da Tolentino family and, even more so, to the Papadopoli Counts, who made it their country residence. The structure, as seen today, dates back to 1865. Burned down at the end of the Great War, in 1921 it was purchased and rebuilt by Commendatore Giovanni Giol who preferred not to modify its architecture, trying to preserve its original appearance as much as possible. It is an imposing structure with high crenellated towers, bow windows, chimneys disguised as pinnacles and pointed mullioned windows: you really have the impression of being in front of a real English medieval castle. Even more surprising is the vast historical park: a 13-hectare oasis that has survived to this day almost completely intact in its original beauty. The entire route winds through centuries-old plants, groves and large meadows and a picturesque lake overlooked by the castle with two islands that can be reached by boat or on foot. There you can find royal perch, largemouth bass, tench, sardole, carp, chub and eels. Magnificent examples of centuries-old trees alternate in a setting of rare beauty: beeches, maples, oaks, cedars, magnolias, holm oaks, ginkgo biloba. https://www.castellogiol.it

At the top of the Janus Hill, the Conegliano castle dominates the valley and houses a civic museum which preserves works of great value, including those by Giambattista Pittoni and Palma il Giovane. Of the original complex, dating back to the 12th century, today only the Bell Tower, part of the ancient cathedral and part of the city walls are still standing.
