The 10 Best Things to do in Asiago, Veneto
Asiago (Italian: [aˈzjaːɡo]; Cimbrian: Slege, German: Schlägen [ˈʃlɛːɡn̩]) is the name of both a major Italian PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) cheese and a minor township (population roughly 6,500) in the surrounding plateau region (the Altopiano di Asiago or Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, Asiago plateau) in the Province of Vicenza in the Veneto region of Northeastern Italy. It is near the border between the Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol regions in the foothills of the Alps, and about equidistant (60 km) from the major cities of Trento to the west and Vicenza to the south. The Asiago region is the origin of Asiago cheese. The town was the site of a major battle between Austrian and Italian forces on the Alpine Front of World War I. It is a major ski resort destination as well as the site of the Astrophysical Observatory of Asiago, operated by the University of Padua.

"Le Carceri" ("The Prison") museum was founded in 2001, due to the renovation of the old prisons of Asiago. Abandoned for decades, the building was restored in 2001 though its original architecture was preserved. Today, this area is home to numerous art exhibitions. The interior of the building has preserved its original design, which allows organizing exhibitions distributing the works of the artists in the former cells.
