Feltre

Feltre stands on a hill near the southern edge of the Alps, west of Belluno. Roman Feltria lay on the road between Oderzo and Trento; its medieval successor passed among powerful lords before coming under Venice in 1404. A new circuit of walls was built in 1499. During the War of the League of Cambrai, fighting in 1509 destroyed much of the town centre, which was later rebuilt in the style of the sixteenth century.
