HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Asolo Historic Town.
The historic hill town retains its medieval walls, the ruined Rocca fortress on the summit, and the Castello, once the residence of Catherine Cornaro, along with a compact old center of arcaded streets and a cathedral rebuilt over earlier foundations. The town remains under municipal ownership and Italian heritage protection as a listed historic center. It is freely accessible, functioning as a living town with its fortress reachable by a hillside path.
About Asolo Historic Town
Asolo originated as a pre-Roman Venetic settlement before becoming a Roman municipality known as Acelum. In the Middle Ages it became a fortified hill town, and in the late fifteenth century served as the court of Caterina Cornaro, the exiled Queen of Cyprus. The town later attracted writers and artists as a center of refined court culture.
