In one day, moving within a few kilometers radius from the town of Asolo, on the hills side, you can visit Asolo, Possagno and Maser.

This medieval village, an architectural pearl of Venetia, enjoys a fascinating panoramic position, so much so that the italian poet Giosuè Carducci named it the hundred-horizon town.
Worth a visit are:
The Rocca, symbol of the town, dominates the historical centre and the surrounding landscape, offering from behind its walls, enchanting views.

The historical centre: the arcades of via Browning and its Zen fountain, Piazza Maggiore (Main Square) and a number of houses and palazzi, among which Villa Freya, the Casa Longobarda, Villa Pasini and Palazzo Beltramini.
The Castle of the Queen Cornaro, unique Queen of Venice, with the Torre Civica (Civic Tour), the Torre Reata (Reata Tower) and the Civic Theatre, named to the italian actress Eleonora Duse.
The Dome, with its Altarpiece by Lorenzo Lotto, paintings by Jacopo da Ponte and double order of columns designed, in the XVIII century, by the architect Massari.

It's the native town of Antonio Canova (1757-1822)
Worth a visit are:
The neo-classical Temple, designed by Antonio Canova to become the town's church, it presents a pronao inspired by the greek Parthenon and the central body of the temple recalling the roman Pantheon. .

Antonio Canova: amore e psyche
the nymphaeum of villa Barbaro a Maser  

Maser
 Villa Barbaro, This Villa, disegned between 1550 and 1560 by Andrea Palladio, certainly deserves a visit. Its facade features four engaged Ionic columns adapted from the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. As at nearby Villa Emo, barchesse (farm buildings) extend symmetrically from the left and right of the central structure. The ends of the barchesse are surmounted by dovecotes, each with a large sundial on the facade. The result is the famous 5-part profile familiar in later Palladio-inspired architecture, including the U. S. Capitol building (with the Houses of Congress replacing the dovecotes). The interior of the central residence is highlighted by frescos executed between 1560 and 1562 principally by Paolo Veronese.
In 1996, it has been declared, by UNESCO, world heritage.
