Called “the garden of the Serenissima” for the lavish greenery thriving on the banks of the meandering river Livenza, Sacile is a beautiful town to make a pleasant walk between squares, bridges and palaces. You should not miss a visit to the wide main square, Piazza del Popolo, the Cathedral and the small Church of Pietà, and the imposing Palazzo Ragazzoni with its amazing 16th century fresco paintings.
