CENEDA
 
 
 
CÈNEDA , the commercial centre of Vittorio Veneto, is primarily worth a visit for the Museo della Battaglia (Tues-Sun: May-Sept 10am-noon & 4.30-6.30pm; Oct-April 10am-noon & 3-5pm; L5000/¬2.58), whose loggia was built by Sansovino. The dull cathedral is right next door; turn right out of the station and keep going until you see the sign for the centre. The museum is dedicated to the climactic Battle of Vittorio: fought in October 1918, this was the final engagement of World War I for the Italian Army and marked the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which is why most towns in Italy have a Via Vittorio Veneto.Overlooking town is the imposing Castello di San Martino, once a Lombard stronghold and now the bishop's palace, which is why you won't be allowed in. The only other building that merits a look in Cèneda is the church of Santa Maria del Meschio , where you'll find a splendid Annunciation by Andrea Previtali, a pupil of Giovanni Bellini. If you turn left off the Cèneda-Serravalle road instead of going right for the cathedral square, you'll soon come across it.
