In the heart of Veneto, a short distance from Padua, stands Cittadella. This walled city, unique in Europe, offers an unforgettable journey through time, thanks to its perfectly preserved medieval walls.
The walk along the Ronda Walk, the towers towering high above and the historic gates are just some of the wonders that await you. Their construction, begun in the first half of the 13th century at the behest of the Republic of Padua, was intended to protect the city from external attacks. The unique elliptical shape of the city walls not only served defensive purposes but also delineated the urban space, influencing the development and growth of the city over the centuries.
