Well worth a visit! Astonishing architecture, build on top of the previous church, which is now accessible underneath the cathedral. And you get to see the amazing Malchiostro Annunciation by Titian!

Many people who visit northern Italy visit Venice, but they should also visit Treviso! A good place to start is Treviso Cathedral, built in the neoclassical style with its imposing row of columns at the main door. Inside it is quite light with many interesting features to see. Everybody goes to visit \The Annunciation\ by Titian, (in a chapel next to the sanctuary) but we should also remember that one of its famous sons is Joseph Sarto - Pope Saint Pius X. He was Cathedral Canon, Diocesan Chancellor and Spiritual Director of the seminary from 1875 to 1884, before being appointed Bishop of Mantua. To the right of the sanctuary is the altar dedicated to Saint Pius X, with a bronze statue sculpted by Toni Benetton in 1954 (the year of his beatification). Inside the sanctuary are two paintings depicting him as pope as well as a carved inscription above the Canons seat that he occupied in the cathedral as Canon. The crypt is also very interesting, housing the tombs of the Treviso bishops. Around the back is the Diocesan Museum – well worth a visit (but only open a few days a week) and also a recently discovered Roman mosaic, possible from some ancient Roman baths or temple
When you see it you think its like a roman building, we didn’t have a chance to see it in the interior because they close from 12pm to 4pm but in the exterior looks really nice and big!
A good place for a repose on hot afternoon in August. There was live organ music playing
Great place to visit, well worth the trip
