Discover Cerea

There are several ways to plan a stay in Cerea: explore the wetlands of the Valli del Menago, its architectural history, a themed walking trail, local food or an event venue. Which of these you focus on may also determine your travel dates.

Landscape and themed walking trail

The Oasi Valle Brusà lies on the right bank of the Menago River, southwest of Cerea’s built-up area. Parco Le Vallette is a town park in Cerea and part of the preserved wetland landscape of the Valli del Menago.

Another way to explore the valley landscape is the approximately six-kilometre themed walking trail “Spirito Olimpico| Sapori e Paesaggi di Cerea”. The trail focuses on the development of the valley landscape, farming culture and the growth of agro-industry. It therefore looks not only at the landscape itself, but also at how it has been used and changed.

History and culture in Cerea

The Chiesa della Beata Vergine dello Spasimo was built in the early years of the 18th century to incorporate a votive chapel associated with the plague of 1630. Its architectural history thus brings together two periods: the older chapel and the later church building that incorporated it. Visitors interested in historic buildings and local heritage will find a tangible link to Cerea’s history here.

Exhibitions, shows and other activities are held annually at Area EXP. As the programmes vary, it is worth checking the current dates and programme before travelling. This lets you plan a cultural activity as part of your stay without assuming that a particular event will be taking place.

Cerea’s economy is primarily associated with the furniture industry. The Scuola Internazionale del Mobile d'Arte e in Stile is also located in Cerea. Together with its architectural history, these economic and institutional ties add a dimension beyond landscape and agriculture to the picture of the town.

Rice and the market

Cerea is part of the growing area for Riso Nano Vialone Veronese, cultivated in the palaeochannels of the Menago River.

The Mercato della Terra di Cerea takes place on the second Sunday of each month in the municipal park Prà della Fiera. Small producers and food artisans offer local, fresh and seasonal food there. Individual vendors and products may vary. If the market is important to your travel plans, check the current date, as the schedule may change.

If a market visit or a programme at Area EXP is a deciding factor for your stay, check your plans against the current dates. You can then compare hotel offers in Cerea based on the criteria that matter to you during your stay.
