The view
Out over the Piave valley to the Dolomites. The best free viewpoint in the city and the reason to come.
The lion of St Mark
The Venetian emblem on the gate, marking four centuries of Republic rule.
The drop
The ground falls sharply to the river immediately outside, which explains Belluno's whole siting.
The old streets
The lanes inside the gate are the oldest part of the city and the quietest.
