About 110 kilometers north of Venice lies the town of Pieve di Cadore. It is found in the Belluno province, and its northern location near the Austrian border is reflected in the architecture. The town looks more like an Alpine village than a typical Italian hill town. This proximity to the border also means that your EasyToBook.com discount hotel in Pieve di Cadore will make a good choice if you want to travel to Innsbruck or other Austrian cities.

The town is most famous for being the birthplace of the master painter, Titian. His full name was Tiziano Vecelli, and he was born here in 1485. You can visit the house were he was born, and a statue of him in the Piazza del Paese. The Palazzo della Magnifica Comunita was built in 1447 by the town council at the time. This ‘Palace of the Magnificent Community’ also has a tower that was completed slightly later, in 1491. It was damaged by fire soon after, and also suffered damage from the weight of snow on the roof in 1589, causing some reconstruction work to be done in both instances.
