About Castelfranco Veneto

Giorgione (Giorgi Barbarelli da Castelfranco 1477-1510) was the biggest and most important painter of High renaissance, but his career was cut off by his death a little over thirty. Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only six of his works survived during the centuries. Castelfranco dates from 1195, when the town of Treviso decided to built a fortress in oder to protect the own borders against it's bitter rivals from Venice and Padua. The location was chosen after its strategic position and already excisting bulwark on the River Muson. Torre Civico (the Civil Tower) is the highest building in Castelfranco Veneto and marks the position where the old core of the town is situated. The Cathedral or duomo was built in the XVIII century over a Romanesque church and was designed by Francesco Maria Preti.The higlight of this church is the so called Pala di Giorgione. It is an altarpiece painted in 1504 depicting a Madonna with Saint Francis and San Liberalis. The old core of Castelfranco Veneto lies inside the castle. This is not a real castle, but it is a squared wall and some towers. Inside the castle there is the Cathedral, the town hall, a theater, some shops and lots of private buildings.A nice garden surrounds the walls. Loggia del Grano is situated in Piazza Giorgione, right opposite to the Castle, where once the site of animal market was. It is, however, by the locals much better known as "El Pavejon", which in Venetian dialect means the pavillion.
