Villa Tauro - Pullir di Cesiomaggiore

 

Recognizable by the long hornbeam path, the elegant Villa Tauro offers a remarkable view on a fine gate of ashlar stone, on the balcony on the first floor and on the triple lancet tympanum surrounded by beautiful statues, which give pride and peculiarity to this building. During mid of the 18th century, the Count Francesco Tauro collected several works of art and archaeological works, among which the cippus of Druso. The Zumelle Castle, located 445 m. above sea level, seems to have Roman origin, according to Alpago Novello.

ts origin is proved by some coins found during excavation works. It was further extended during the Longobard age and surrounded by a moat no longer visible. In the centre of the castle stands out a 36 m.-high-tower having 5 storeys. The current structure dates back to the Middle Age, when the fortress became a matter of struggle between Trevigiani and Bellunesi (respectively the inhabitants of Treviso and Belluno). Its favourable position and its magnificent structure have made this area a not-to-be-missed place for those who are interested in history and nature, which is particularly enchanting and striking here.
