Discover Bavaria: Memorial Sites and a Walk on Montello

Bavaria can be explored from two different perspectives: the town’s memorial sites and architectural history, and a walk on Montello. This distinction is helpful when planning your trip. The historic sites point to different eras and contexts, while the walk focuses on named landscape destinations and a specific timeframe. This lets you decide whether you would like to spend your stay exploring local history or taking a route on Montello.

Memorial Sites and Architectural History

The Cippo a Mario Fiore stands exactly where Mario Fiore fell. This memorial is therefore closely tied to a specific location. The Monumento ai Caduti has a different focus: its cornerstone was laid in 1925, and the remains of 35 soldiers from the First and Second World Wars rest there. The Monumento was built on the remains of a 17th-century church dedicated to Saint Mauro. Comparing the two memorial sites makes their different connections clear: the Cippo marks the place where Mario Fiore fell; the Monumento commemorates soldiers from two world wars and also stands on the remains of an older religious building.

The Chiesa di Sant'Urbano Papa e Martire adds its own architectural history to this picture. It has been documented since 1593 and was completely rebuilt between 1922 and 1923 after war damage. Part of the high altar is made from old material recovered from the ruins of the Certosa. The building thus brings together a long-documented church history, reconstruction after war damage and the reuse of older materials.

Resistance History and Routes

A meeting was also held in the Chiesa di Sant'Urbano to organise scattered officers and soldiers. Representatives of anti-fascist parties at provincial level took part. This meeting marked the beginning of the activities of the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale of the Province of Treviso. The church building is therefore part of not only a religious and architectural history, but also the history of the Resistance. Another way to explore the history of the Resistance is the dual route from Montello to Monte Grappa: it passes through Nervesa della Battaglia and continues to the Bavaria district. This gives you two different ways to understand the town’s history: a specific meeting in the church and a longer historic route.

A Walk on Montello

Starting from Bavaria, the walk leads across Montello to Busa delle Rane and Valle delle Tre Fonti; Grotta di San Girolamo is also among the destinations visited in connection with the valley. The starting point is the car park at the end of Via Genio Zappatori in Bavaria. The route is 7 km long and takes about 2.5 hours. This provides two practical details for planning your day, alongside specific place names.

The routes differ considerably in terms of planning your day: the walk from Bavaria is listed as 7 km and about 2.5 hours, while the dual route, tracing the history of the Resistance, runs from Montello via Nervesa della Battaglia to Bavaria. The walk provides specific distance and timing information; the dual route places the town within a broader historical itinerary.
