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 little off the beaten track lies this mansion, brimming with mementos of glorious Italian aviators. You wouldn't expect this in the middle of an old mansion. A little quirky, but charming, and worth a detour on the way to Ferrera!

One of the palaces built by Ezzelino III, known as the Terrible, witness to medieval Padua. The original manufacture appears to date from the 12th century. Ezzelino Palace The architectural image seems to have been largely configured around the 13th century, due to the similarities with the municipal buildings of the same period, clearly visible for example in the shapes of the stained glass windows on the upper floor. The house, surmounted by an elegant 15th-century Nanto stone coat of arms, was affected by fire in 1760, from 1794 to 1873 the rooms above the vault were reduced to a theater hall. On the facade of the building to the right of the Volto della Malvasia, a plaque with a bronze medallion was barbarically hung here in 1944 in memory of Flavio Busonera, member of the resistance. The palace is currently a private building and cannot be visited internally. Source: https://www.padovanet.it/informazione/palazzo-di-ezzelino

The castle of Monselice is a characteristic and fascinating complex of complex buildings, added in different eras by different owners: the 11th century Romanesque House and the 12th century Castelletto, which constitute the oldest and most medieval nucleus; the massive 13th century defensive tower, commissioned by Ezzelino III da Romano who established his government here; the 15th century Palazzo Marcello, in Renaissance style, built as a connection between the two previous buildings, when the complex was converted from military use to residential use by the noble Venetian Marcello family; finally the 16th century Ca' Marcello Library. From the 19th century the complex fell into a state of progressive degradation and internal dispossession, culminating in the use of the castle for military purposes during the Great War, until it was inherited by Count Vittorio Cini, who in 1935 began a radical restoration of the buildings. This was followed by the restoration of the internal rooms, purchasing vast collections of weapons, furnishings, ornaments, utensils and tapestries, strictly consistent with the medieval and Renaissance environments. The castle houses one of the most beautiful and richest armories in the Veneto. It is also called Cini Castle. In 1981 it was purchased by the Veneto Region and opened to visitors ((see link for opening times and prices). https://www.castellodimonselice.it https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Monselice
