Campodarsego: Trails, Churches and Museums

Campodarsego combines trails, riverside landscapes and architectural history. The ancient Via Aurelia runs through the centre, now called Strada del Santo. On the Tergola, the Tergolandia nature area is located in the village of Bronzola; the Last Path of St. Anthony also passes through the centre. This means that a holiday apartment in Campodarsego can be combined with a variety of day-trip ideas – from outdoor activities to churches, museums and historical details.

Holiday apartment in Campodarsego for active days

The Via Antoniana cycle path leads from the centre of Campodarsego to Via Pontarola. Tergolandia is located on the banks of the Tergola River in Bronzola and follows the cycling and walking path along the river of the same name. The Percorso Tergola includes sections from San Giorgio delle Pertiche to Bronzola, from Bronzola to S. Andrea and from S. Andrea to Reschigliano. The Last Path of St. Anthony is approximately 25 kilometres long, connects Camposampiero with Padova and passes through the centre of Campodarsego. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore distinguish between riverside trails, a connection to Via Pontarola and a longer route between two towns.

Roman traces and historic transport route

Campodarsego was part of the Roman centuriation of Padova Cis Musonem, known as the Graticolato Romano. This historic layout complements the ancient Via Aurelia, whose current name is Strada del Santo and which runs through the town centre. Those choosing a holiday apartment in Campodarsego will find a place where orientation in the present-day townscape can be combined with Roman history.

Churches, museums and distinctive buildings

The Chiesetta di S. Maria di Panigale has walls made of Roman bricks up to a height of 2.60 metres, decorated with several brick friezes arranged in a herringbone pattern. It was first mentioned in 1297 in the Vatican Tithes as a rectorate. The Chiesa parrocchiale dei SS. Pietro e Paolo contains an ancient 17th-century tabernacle on the main altar.

The Museo degli Alpini is located in Bosco del Vescovo in a former school renovated by the Alpini association S. Andrea di Campodarsego. The Museo Beato Longhin is located in the baptistery of the parish church of Fiumicello and in an adjoining room. Its collection includes photographs, manuscripts, a religious habit, a pair of glasses and religious objects. In its central building, Villa Mattiazzo Gelmi Bano features a classical three-storey manor layout with a large central hall and two side wings.

The Chiesa parrocchiale di S. Nicola a Fiumicello has five altars, including one from the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari church in Venice. The new Chiesa parrocchiale di S. Daniele in Reschigliano was inaugurated and ceremonially blessed on 29 June 1976. Its left aisle contains a recently restored 18th-century painting depicting S. Daniele and other saints, originating from the former parish church.

Choose the right accommodation according to your travel theme

The trails and buildings offer different focal points for planning your trip. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, Tergolandia, the Percorso Tergola, the Via Antoniana cycle path and the Last Path of St. Anthony provide the direction. For culture-focused days, the Chiesetta di S. Maria di Panigale, the churches, museums and the villa take centre stage. You can therefore choose a holiday apartment or other accommodation in Campodarsego according to the mix of activities you and your family actually want to experience.
