Museo Civico di Santa Caterina

While on the right bank of the canal make for the Museo Civico di Santa Caterina . The church and its attached convent and cloisters house many of the city's art treasures. In the church itself are remarkable frescoes attributed to Gentile da Fabriano (who worked in the early 15th century). The beautiful Cappella degli Innocenti contains remarkably fresh and vivid frescoes by two contemporary artists, depicting the lives of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

To these have been added the extraordinary fresco cycle by Tomaso da Modena (1326-79) on the life and martyrdom of St Ursula, recovered late in the 19th century from another already partly demolished church.Over two floors of the former convent is part of the eclectic collection of Luigi Bailo, a 19th-century friar who made it his life's work to collect ancient artefacts and artworks to preserve the memory of Treviso's past. The collection starts with an archaeological section, proceeds with Romanesque statuary, and continues with a series of single paintings by Lotto, Titian, Tintoretto, Guardi, Rosalba Carriera and others.
