Discover Campodoro

Campodoro can be considered for travel planning through two distinct themes: the history of its localities and the Treviso-Ostiglia cycling and walking route. If you are looking for a hotel in Campodoro, you can decide whether local history, the Church of Santa Margherita or the former railway line should be the focus of your stay. The historical references belong to different periods; they do not tell a single story of the town’s founding, but instead lead to several localities, a religious building and a route.

Local history across several periods

The origins of the localities that make up the municipality of Campodoro certainly predate the year 1000. This places the origins of the localities as a whole before that date; it does not establish a single founding date for Campodoro. The first official document to mention Bevadoro and Campodoro dates from 1231. Thus, an earlier statement about the origins of the localities sits alongside a dated written reference. The year 1231 should be understood as the date of this reference, not as the beginning of the localities. This distinction is useful for understanding the history: the emergence of a locality and its first official written mention answer different questions.

The Church of Santa Margherita in Campodoro has been a parish church since the late 12th century. It adds the role of a specifically named religious building to the local history. Its date precedes the 1231 document that mentions Bevadoro and Campodoro. The church therefore provides its own historical point of reference alongside the place names and their written mentions.

Cycling and walking route on a former railway line

The Treviso-Ostiglia cycling and walking route runs diagonally across the municipality of Campodoro. It was built on the track bed of the former military railway of the same name. This brings together two distinct periods: the cycling and walking route and the track bed’s former use as a railway. The railway connection relates to the route’s construction; the path and the former military railway are not the same thing. For your travel planning, the route can therefore be considered both as a cycling and walking path and in terms of its origins on a former railway line. The conversion of a former military railway line into a cycling and walking route is thus a distinct aspect of local route history.

Bevadoro railway station

Bevadoro railway station is also among the area’s historical points of reference. It has been partially restored and was initially called “Campodoro-Camisano,” and later “Campodoro.” The partial restoration and the sequence of names describe two different aspects: the restoration concerns the station, while the sequence concerns the names it was given. This helps put the place names into context. Bevadoro is the location of the station; “Campodoro-Camisano” and later “Campodoro” are the names the station bore in succession. This makes it possible to distinguish the municipality, the locality of Bevadoro and the railway station, even though Campodoro appears in several names.
