Holiday apartment in Pressana: discover villas, churches and the Ciclovia

Historic buildings for curious explorers

Pressana can be explored through specific buildings from several centuries. Villa Gaudio is an aristocratic villa in Pressana dating from the early 17th century, while Cà Querini is a manor villa in Pressana dating from the early 16th century. This gives you an introduction that connects two different types of villa and two historical periods. Families can use such details as an opportunity to talk together about life in earlier times.

The churches also lead through different eras: the Oratorio di S. Sebastiano is a church in Pressana dating from the late 9th century. The Chiesa di S. Maria Maddalena is a parish church in Pressana dating from the 18th century. The Colombaia Corte Leopardi adds an unusual building to the picture; it is a dovecote tower in Pressana dating from the late 15th century. The chronological span of the visible buildings therefore extends from the late 9th to the 18th century.

Villas with frescoes and special details

Villa Querini Stampalia includes a Benedictine church dating from the year 1000 and features frescoes by Falconetto from the year 1400. In Villa Grimani, the loggia is decorated with archaeological landscape depictions from Roman antiquity, including an amphitheatre and an obelisk. The interiors of Villa Grimani are richly decorated with frescoes. For those interested in culture and for families, these specific motifs provide points of connection for bringing architecture, painting and history together.
