Places of interest
Religious architectures
If you are passionate about religious architecture, the church of San Dionisio is a must-see in Collalbrigo. Initially a chapel of the parish of San Pietro di Feletto, today it is a parish dedicated to Dionysius the Areopagite (but originally dedicated to the Saints Dionysius of Paris, Rustico of Paris and Eleutherius of Paris). It was rebuilt according to the project by Tirindelli, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, as the earthquake of 1873 had made the old building dating back to 1585 dangerous. The bell tower, designed by engineer Da Riz, dates back to 1855.
Among the most representative oratories, we find the oratory of Sant'Anna in via Guizza, a red plastered shrine with a gabled facade, on which a round arch opens. On the right side, facing the street, another round arch completes the structure's forometry; on the roof there is a small bell cell.
Venetian Villas
If you are fascinated by Venetian villas, Collalbrigo has a lot to offer. The Collalbrigo House is a 19th-century Venetian villa, owned by the parish. It is a two-story building with round-headed monophores, plus a mezzanine in the attic with small circular openings.
Villa Montalban Ghetti is an 18th-century Venetian villa, located on the top of the hill, characterized by a main building of three floors, crowned by a pediment, with round-headed trifoil on the main floor. The Torre Dalla Fratta Montalban is instead a complex of Venetian castle-villa dating back to the 15th century, which stands in an agricultural area on the gentle slope of the hill, inserted in a grove on the left of via Marsiglion descending towards Paré (Conegliano).
Villa Ceotti Cosulich, on a hill facing Parè and the southwestern plain of Conegliano, is a 19th-century Venetian villa with three raised floors centrally. The forometry, together with thin white string courses on the red plaster, designs the levels, by means of only rectangular monophores. Finally, Casa Cosulich, near Villa Ceotti Cosulich and Torre Dalla Fratta Montalban, is a 19th-century Venetian villa, also on the hills of via Marsiglion.
