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.

The Credazzo Towers are a fortified complex located between Farra di Soligo and Col San Martino, in the heart of the Prosecco Hills. They stand on a hillside at 308 m above sea level and take their name from the nearby village of Credazzo (a toponym derived from creda, "clay", in reference to the clayey nature of the territory). The most ancient history of the fortress remains largely obscure. It was built between the 9th and 10th centuries during the invasions of the Hungarians at the behest of the Counts of Collalto: this is proven by a diploma from 980, with which the emperor Otto II also added this territory to the family's properties. The first document that explicitly mentions Credazzo is however much later, from 1233. At that time the fortress was controlled by the da Camino family, forming the center of a small fiefdom that also included the village of the same name and the church of San Lorenzo. The complex is also linked to the events of some of the most important exponents of the Caminesi: Guecellone VI was born here, an ally of Ezzelino da Romano and father of Tolberto III, husband of the famous Gaia da Camino remembered by Dante. In 1321 the castle was put up for auction and was bought by Rambaldo VIII of Collalto. At the beginning of 1413, when the province of Treviso was now part of the Serenissima, the fortification was destroyed by the Hungarians led by Pippo Spano and the Collaltos had no interest in rebuilding it. After a long period of abandonment, around 1940 the remaining buildings were purchased by the Biscaro family, and then passed to the architect Giovanni Barbin who supervised the restoration which took place thirty years later. The castle still consists of three towers aligned in a north-south direction, connected to each other by walls that delimit two internal courtyards. Since 2015, the complex has been owned by a family of entrepreneurs from Cordignano.

The building was built around the seventeenth century and is now presented with the transformations and expansion carried out in the last century by the c.te Rizzolino degli Azzoni Avogadro. The villa was built on the ruins of an ancient castle formed by three towers placed in a triangle and joined by a large wall of battlements. Within the first ring of walls there were two streets equipped with strong shelters which on the right and on the left led to the top of the hill where the keep of the castle stood. For this reason the tower was called the crossroads from which the name of Bivai then came. The castle of Bivai sustained several assaults and devastations in several of which it suffered a lot, especially in the siege that made Ezzelino da Romano, who taken by the warrior virtues of Giorgio Teupone who watched over its defenses made him its captain. A rich and complete collection of minerals and plaster models of the local mushrooms was kept in the villa. Count Carlo Avogadro degli Azzoni was appointed first Mayor of Santa Giustina during the first municipal elections of the Kingdom of Italy on 7 October 1866.
