Fontana di Piazza Sant'Andrea receives mixed feedback, primarily centered on the presence of water. When active, the fountain and its cascade are described as a cool and tranquil spot where the clear river water allows for peaceful observation of fish. It holds historical value as the site of Treviso's original Paleovenetian settlement. However, several reviewers have noted that the site can be dry and neglected, particularly in the autumn months, with some even mentioning trash in the area. While some find it a beautiful pitstop, others suggest it is not worth a dedicated trip if your time in Treviso is limited. Overall, it serves as a quiet, no-frills historical marker that is best enjoyed when the water levels are high.
