The journey starts in Feltre, a little yet nice town on a hill at the western boundaries of the Valbelluna. Axis of the old town centre is Via Mezzaterra that you can reach passing under Porta Imperiale, the gate built in 1400. Along the street you will meet many historical bouilìdings, among which the most important is Salce-Aldovini-Mezzanotte in front of the church of San Giacomo Maggiore. Moreover, Piazza Maggiore with the Pretorio Palace, the Ragione Palace and the overlooking church of San Rocco is certainly worth a visit.
