The patron of Pieve di Cadore is the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, celebrated on 8 September in the Church of Santa Maria Nascente.
The town was the birthplace of the great painter Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), whose childhood home can still be visited today. Pieve di Cadore is also recalled in a song presented at the 1956 Sanremo Festival. The town also holds the Castello di Pieve di Cadore and Forte Monte Ricco.
