Feltre, perched on a hill, is dominated by the Alboino castle. The historic centre, between Porta Imperiale and Porta Oria, presents an intact architectural homogeneity, due to a tragic event: in 1510 the troops of Maximilian of Habsburg set the city on fire, which rose from the ashes taking on the appearance it still has Today. Via Mezzaterra, with its frescoed buildings, leads to the heart of the city, Piazza Maggiore where, from above, the statues of Panfilo Castaldi and Vittorino da Feltre look down on us. The square is closed, to the north, by the large Lombard fountain (1488) and the church of Ss. Rocco and Sebastiano, on the other sides overlook Palazzo Guarnieri, Palazzo Pretorio and the Palazzo della Ragione.
The “Carlo Rizzarda” Modern Art Gallery, the Diocesan Museum, and the archaeological area in Cathedral Square are worth a visit. Don't miss a walk on the walls with the climb of the Old Scalette, which from Porta Pusterla leads to the Piazzetta delle Biade.
