Torri di Credazzo

The Torri di Credazzo form the surviving core of a medieval fortress above the vineyards of Farra di Soligo. Three stone towers mark a ridge once used to oversee the surrounding valley.

Why it matters

The fortress is documented in 1233 as a Da Camino holding. Its relationship with other strongpoints at Soligo and Col San Martino places it within the history of local lordship and defence in the Treviso foothills.

What to notice

The three towers differ in size and align along the ridge. Curtain walls once connected them around two courtyards. Their relationship with the nearby church of San Lorenzo recalls the castle's religious as well as military life. Vineyard cultivation now gives the fortified silhouette a different landscape setting.

Context and history

Tradition assigns the complex an earlier medieval origin, but its documented history is clearer in the thirteenth century. Control later passed to the Collalto. Early-fifteenth-century warfare brought destruction and decline, leaving the towers and wall fragments as evidence of the former stronghold.
