The commitment that Pieve di Cadore has shown to the maintenance of its existing buildings and their historic value, to making its archaeological heritage more visible and accessible and to restoring its modern era fortifications has enabled the town both to lay claim to the title of "Citta d'Arte" and to be included in the directory of "Walled Towns of the Veneto".

The decision to include Pieve in the above directory, along with only two other towns in the Belluno region, Belluno and Feltre, was taken by the Regional Council on the third of October 2003 (Resolution no 2956).

Pieve di Cadore, Titian's town of birth, hosts not only Titian's house, declared a national monument by royal decree no. 1725 on the 17th of December 1922, but also the Palazzo della Magnifica Comunita` di Cadore and a considerable number of historically important buildings, mostly to be found in the town centre.

The work now being undertaken on the archaeological area in front of the Council buildings, will enable Pieve to bring to light important evidence of the strategic significance that the town has held historically.

The Museum of the Magnifica Comunita' (in second position regionally for the importance of its paleoveneto finds) holds, amongst other exhibits, finds from the Roman era and, in the archives, collections on the ancient and modern history of the whole Cadore area.

The Museo dell'Occhiale, one of the most important of its kind in Europe, holds an important collection of reading glasses, thereby acknowledging the importance of the predominant industry of Pieve and of the Cadore area as a whole.

The Archdeaconry Church dedicated to S. Maria Nascente contains church furnishings and paintings by Titian and Cesare Vecellio.

Works by Cesare Vecellio, Vittore Carpaccio and Gianbattista Vicari are to be found in the churches of Pozzale and Tai.
