The city of Treviso is the capital city of the Province of Treviso, with a population of 84,999 inhabitants. It stands at an elevation of 15 metres and lies around 40 kilometres to the north of Venice, the regional capital of Veneto.
At the centre of Treviso is its main square, Piazza dei Signori. From here you can see the city's main sights including the churches of San Vito and Santa Lucia, La Loggia dei Cavalieri and the Duomo (cathedral). This is the area of the city where you'll find most of the restaurants, shops and also a marketplace called La Pescheria which was originally a fish market and sits on its own little island. |

The island that La Pescheria sits on is in the middle of a canal, of which there are several around the city. Another important feature of Treviso is its city wall, built in the sixteenth century and largely intact today, particularly so to the north of the city centre.
