From Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore reach the Riviera along the Tolpada Sile, a narrow alleys between houses painted, with arcades and Barbican.
The latter often use the ancient dwellings of Treviso and consist of series of arches supported by shelves that protrude from the facades of the houses to allow the bump out of the building. The Via Tolpada owes its name to a species of river cleared in piles of oak (known precisely TOLP), which until 1800 was present at the port on the river Sile.
The barges which dated back to the river from the lagoon of Venice came to this port and houses on the coast (up to Ponte San Martino) were used as a warehouse for goods in transit. From here onwards with the wagons were intended to emporiums across Europe. From Tolpada exit on the Riviera Tomorrow in Piazza Garibaldi (once Piazza Boat).
On the left stands the Palazzo Giacomelli, by the name of the family that owned the mid-1800s. The front window framed by a large curved door. Established at the end of the seventeenth century, is one of the most magnificent and best-preserved noble private homes, survived the bombing of two wars. It is now headquarters of the Small and Medium Industries.
Besides the river rises the massive bastion walls of St. Paul, right on the confluence Sile Polveriera Channel, around the southern city walls. On top of the bastion stands a castle built in the early'900 in fake antique style. In front of Piazza Garibaldi, the former Military District occupies the references of the Monastery of St. Paul (formerly of the Augustinian Sisters), deleted in 1810 after six centuries of glorious history. Later there is the Church of Santa Margherita, Eremitani erected by the end of the thirteenth century in the form of large classroom.
Even this monastery was suppressed in 1806 and put to military use. Today the church desecrated, has become a gym. On the left bank of the river Sile rises imposing the eighteenth southern wing of the Hospital Lost, that was until a few decades ago.
Here, in the service of the sick, in humble modesty of small gestures, the life of Sister Mary Bertilla Boscardin was accomplished and died at the young age of 34 years. In 1961, even after forty years, Pope John XXIII raised the honor of the altars.
