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.
