Asolo is a small, walled town with many narrow streets. It is one of the most beautiful medieval 'Borghi' in Italy and is known as the 'Pearl of Treviso'. The small picturesque village is nestled in the foothills of the Dolomites. You can park your car outside the city walls in the underground car park "Cipressina". A steep climb takes you to the city gate 'Portello di Castelfranco' and via the 'Via Browning' you reach the pleasant Piazza Garibaldi. On the main square, the 15th century Palazzo della Ragione with its beautiful artefacts is worth a visit. Rocca di Asolo, which rises high above the town, triggers many visitors. If you would like to get to know this castle, check the opening hours in advance. The path to it is a tough one. Unfortunately, we missed the effort ☹. The 'Lock' was locked. We were able to satisfy our hunger for medieval architecture in the Castello Pretorio. It is a hidden gem in the idyllic town. Free access gives you the opportunity to delve into the long, special history of the fort. It is an early medieval fortress that has had different residents and interpretations over the centuries. Take the time to hit the pause button and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the Belevedere della Specola. On the artistic bench 'Il Bacio' by serverino Morlin, which is placed in the shadow of the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, we say goodbye to the 'Pearl of Treviso' with a big kiss. It was nice to be there for a few hours.
