サンタマリアラロンガのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Pedaling along the Bastions of Palmanova is always a thrill. The waterway offers a wealth of biodiversity.

One of the three entrance gates of Palmanova, with Porta Aquileia and Porta Udine.

Porta Cividale in Palmanova - along with Porta Aquileia and Porta Udine, each with their early Baroque outworks, is one of three city gates that provide access to the city through the fortified belt with three rings of fortresses. Palmanova itself was founded on October 7, 1593, as a planned city/fortress with a central square and radial street network in the shape of a nine-pointed star. It was the most important land base and served to protect the Republic of Venice from the Turks. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It's really worth taking a look there

Does this dog really have to be in all the pictures?

The city lies like a fortress, partially enclosed by a wall. The barracks behind this wall were supposed to be abandoned. A construction site has now been set up for the restoration of the barracks complex.

Beautiful route at the foot of the bastions along the city walls

There are several fortress rings, all of which are worth visiting if you have the time. 😉
