THE HISTORICAL CENTRE OF SERRAVALLE

Serravalle means “Close the valley”. It is a medioeval borough born around the castle of the Da Camino family, first mentioned in 1175. Capital of a large territory, it reached wealth and fama doing trades between german lands and Venice during the late Middle Ages. In that period, many conspicuous families built  gothic palaces, of wich one of the most important is  palazzo Trojer; this explains the richness of the precious materials found on the façade, like gildings, frescoes and marbles.

Among other gothic palaces it is remarkable the seat of Alma Ortolan Studio, in the inner town, in front of the Medieval castle.
