Pojana Maggiore
Rising from the southern plains of Vicenza, Pojana Maggiore sits upon ancient alluvial lands expertly reclaimed during the Roman era. Once the stage for fierce medieval power struggles that saw its castle destroyed by the legendary Ezzelino da Romano, the territory today beautifully reflects the golden age of Venetian villa civilization.
Its undisputed crown jewel is the celebrated Villa Pojana—a Palladian masterpiece combining seamless functionality with monumental elegance. This architectural marvel is flanked by the historic Villa Colla, Villa Arnaldi Brojanigo, and the ancient Church of San Zenone. Pojana Maggiore is also a prominent hub for slow travel, gently brushed by the spiritual pilgrimage route of the Romea Strata and major cycling routes like the Treviso-Ostiglia.
