Santa Cristina: the natural hamlet of Quinto di Treviso
If you want to discover an enchanting place where nature is the protagonist, Santa Cristina is the right place for you. This geographical hamlet is located at the western end of the Municipality of Quinto di Treviso, in the province of Treviso. It borders with Morgano, Sant'Alberto di Zero Branco and Paese and is characterized by the presence of the river Sile which, in this stretch, flows in a protected naturalistic area thanks to the presence of the regional natural park of the River Sile.
Physical Geography
The residential area of Santa Cristina extends for much of the northeast of the river Sile, in a remarkable naturalistic area. Here you can walk among olive trees, flowers and green meadows, also encountering animals such as ducks, swans, events, and many other typical animals of the marshy area.
Monuments and Points of Interest
Parish Church
The parish church is a beautiful neo-Gothic architecture building with a bell tower placed above the entrance portal. Inside, there are various works of art including the famous Pala di Santa Cristina al Tiverone. This work represents the Madonna on a throne with the Child between the Saints Cristina di Bolsena, Pietro apostolo, Liberale d'Altino and Girolamo.
Cervara Oasis
The Cervara Oasis represents one of the access gates to the wonders of the Sile natural park. Here, the presence of resurgences gives life to a very rich floristic and faunistic environment. The importance of the area is also historical and cultural: inside it is the Cervara mill, active since at least 1325. Here, you can also admire a casone and a fishpond, historical reconstructions of the ancient trades of the residents of the area.
The Oasis is classified as a Site of Community Interest. We advise you to take a walk along the trails, until you reach the mill wheels where their movement will relax you, in an experience of tranquility immersed in nature.
Here are some photos to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the nature reserve.
