The ramparts of Palmanova are always a satisfying ride. In the moat, it's not uncommon to spot sunbathing turtles, kingfishers, and a remarkable biodiversity.

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 definitely worth a visit. The ditch loop presents no technical or elevation difficulties and is suitable for both mountain bikes and gravel bikes.

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.

Outside the walls of Palmanova, and in particular Porta Udine, the Venetian Aqueduct stands mightily. It took its current form in 1771 and was used to carry water from the Roggia di Palma into the fortress, for civic use. It is possible to pass under the structure thanks to a pleasant dirt path.
