The Cathedral, consacrated to Santa Maria Assunta and San Liberale was build from 1724 to 1746, according to the design of famous, localy native, architect Francesco Maria Preti. Btw, San Liberale is the patron saint of Castelfranco Veneto. The cathedral is famous for Giorgione's masterpiece called "La Pala del Duomo", which is a must see when visiting the town.

Loggia del Grano is situated in Piazza Giorgione, right opposite to the Castle, where once the site of animal market was. It is, however, by the locals much better known as "El Pavejon", which in Venetian dialect means the pavillion. According to its original name (grano = wheat), I suppose it was the old wheat market place. Eversince medieval times, and especially during the rule of Venetian Republic, Castelfranco was known for its agricultural and animal products.
Nowadays, it is turned into the cafe-bar.
