Three fortification rings
from the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries (the first two by the Venetians, the 3rd ring by Napoleon Bonaparte)
they were built from the inside outwards, creating a regular nine-pointed star
today you can walk around the city along these

It is very interesting to cycle among the fortifications around this city. It is easy to do, they are good dirt roads.

If you come to Palmanova, it's almost a shame not to tour the three rings of the outer fortifications: in the moat, around the moat, ravelins, and barracks. The ring around the moat features continuous ups and downs, allowing you to train in a beautiful setting.
