During the 12th and 13th centuries, the ancient Collalto family of Treviso, Lombard in origin, settled in the present-day area of Susegana (Treviso) and built the castles of Collalto and San Salvatore.
The Castle of San Salvatore grew quickly and, measuring 30,000 sqm across fortress and borgo, was one of the most extensive castles in northern Italy by the end of the Middle Ages. The Cappella Vecchia has an extraordinary fresco cycle by Pordenone, while the palaces are embellished by works by the great Venetian masters of the time.
The beauty and magnificence of the castle became the backdrop for famous paintings by Cima da Conegliano. In the early 1600s, the Church of Santa Croce was built, facing the town with a Sansovino inspired portico and during the 1700s Count Odoardo commissioned the building of a new palace.
The Piave was a setting for the final cruel battles of WWI when the castle was a target for the Italian artillery. By 1918, San Salvatore was a desolate land: the palaces, walls and borgo were all seriously damaged.
The castle was brought back to life by count Rambaldo who began extensive restoration of that extraordinary historical and artistic heritage which had been defended for centuries with tenacity and love. Work continued unceasingly into the 2000s when the Castle of San Salvatore and its lands were returned to history in all their splendour.
