Monselice Castle is a complex of buildings composed of four main nuclei, plus a fortress, all built and renovated between the 11th and 16th centuries. The oldest part, on the right as you enter the main doorway into the Corte Grande, is the Castelletto, with the adjoining Romanesque house, built between the 11th and 12th centuries. On the left stands the massive 13th-century Ezzelino Tower. In the center, Palazzo Marcello was built in the 15th century as a connecting nucleus between the two existing buildings. At the top of the hill stands a fortress built by Ezzelino III da Romano on the orders of Emperor Frederick II of Swabia. Finally, the castle library, located on the large esplanade in front of the Ezzelino Tower, was created in a pre-existing building from the late 16th century.

A typical Italian small town. Fits the holiday mood.

Simply fantastic The view from Calaone is very beautiful

I haven't found any clear indications. On the internet they write that it is the ancient ruin of a tower, a probable outpost to defend the Catajo Castle property, with a wall on both sides of the hill.

In reality, nothing remains of the castle, but the notable medieval walls that surrounded it remain: destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, they are 1 km long; on the top of the hill, the keep which is still present watched over the entire town. Today the city walls enclose the very well-kept and spectacular Italian gardens, inaugurated in 1915, with orderly avenues and geometric flowerbeds, with tree species and centuries-old plants. The park, ideal for walking and relaxing, is open to the public free of charge: it closes in the evening/night, with times that vary depending on the season (see link). https://www.estedavivere.it/it/poi/castello-di-este/ https://www.euganeamente.it/il-castello-carrarese-di-este/
