The city of Conegliano

The historic center, the ancient Contrada Granda, built mainly along Via XX Settembre and Piazza Cima, is home to numerous Renaissance palaces with decorations in carved stone and frescoes.

On the hill, close to Piazza Cima, stands the Castle, which can be accessed through picturesque walking routes, along the ancient Carrarese walls. The Castle, symbol of Conegliano, splendors in a panoramic position, from which you can admire the view of the wide piedmont scenery, from the UNESCO Dolomites to the Venice lagoon.

Conegliano is today, the second most inhabited center of the province, after the provincial capital Treviso. Favored by the central position between Venice, Udine and Cortina, the city has developed the industrial sector over time, becoming the reference point for the Inox Valley District (in particular with the production of household appliances (Zanussi, then Electrolux, others), the tertiary sector and the agricultural sector, together with Valdobbiadene, have become the reference point for the Prosecco Superiore District in Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, elected in July 2019 Heritage Site .

The important development of the wine sector, is also due to the presence in Conegliano of the Enological School, the oldest in Italy and of Europe (founded in 1876 by GB Cerletti). From here started the first Italian wine itinerary, the “Strada del Prosecco e Vini dei Colli Conegliano Valdobbiadene” (1966), to which was added the more recent “Strada dei Vini del Piave”.

The strategic position is thanks to the proximity of the main connecting routes, of two efficient airports (Treviso and Venice) and the vast array of hotel facilities, that have allowed an ease in the influx of tourism linked to food and wine, wellness and nature and the art and cultural heritage.

Conegliano is home to numerous events that animate the historic center throughout the year. Among the most representative, the Dama Castellana in June, where ancient battle scenes are brought to life with reenactments of knights in shining armor, ready to challenge each other in hopes to win the damsels.

In August, Calici di Stelle allows you to taste the local food and wine specialties. In September lives the Coneglianese Autumn, with the party of the various associations, Painters in the Contrada, the Automotive Expo and the Grape Festival. In December the historic center is animated by the characteristic Christmas Village.
