Beautiful

The Morosini Tower is all that remains of Villa Morosini, destroyed during a bombing raid on April 20, 1945. It remained inhabited until 1983 and was then restored by the municipal administration. Built of masonry with a square base, the tower is 22 meters tall and has a 53 cm slope. It comprises three floors above ground, connected by a spiral staircase with 128 marble steps; the summit features elegant terracotta battlements and decorative ashlar work on the sides and windows. The tower's connections with the lost older buildings are still visible.

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.

Very useful

Near the Lusia bridge (RO) on the Adige river, you can see the Morosini crenellated tower, with its 22 meters of height. An internal spiral staircase, composed of 128 steps, allows you to go up three floors, before reaching its top. The tower is what remains of an ancient villa of the same name, half destroyed by the Allied bombings (!) on April 20, 1945. The villa occupied the space of the tower, to the right, where the road is currently. The villa was built by will of the Venetian Morosini family, at the beginning of the 17th century, transforming the medieval castle built by the Este family in the 11th century. The villa remained the property of Countess Loredana Morosini Gatterburg until her death (1884) and in 1889 it became the property of the Oliva family. In 1935 it was purchased by the municipality of Lusia who adapted it to the town hall and elementary schools. After the bombing, the municipality did not consider it appropriate to rebuild it.
