This tour of Cittadella offers the opportunity to stroll along the historic walls, which in the Middle Ages were an impenetrable barrier for militias from all directions. These walls boast an average thickness of 2.10 meters and feature four access gates aligned with the cardinal points: Porta Padovana, Porta Bassanese, Porta Trevisana, and Porta Vicentina, each named after the city they face.
Upon descending into the city center, visitors can admire significant monuments such as the Captain’s House, where the Captain of the Guards once lived, showcasing original 16th-century frescoes. The Tower of Malta, infamous for the gruesome tortures during the reign of the tyrant Ezzelino III da Romano, is even mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy. Additionally, the Praetorian Palace, the former seat of the Powers of the city of Padua, the Teatro Sociale with its façade attributed to the renowned Giuseppe Jappelli, and the Cathedral with its Art Gallery are all noteworthy sites to explore.
