The Palmanova fortress is located on a site where spring water could have been an excellent defensive element, along with the moats. This machine was useful for moving the water.

The ingenuity of the Venetians in designing and building machines for various construction activities.

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.

The imposing building of the "Deposito delle Monizioni" or "Fontego Pubblico" (Food Warehouse), also called the Arsenal, was built starting in 1596 under Superintendent Zuanne Bembo and expanded between 1616 and 1617. To the left of the entrance stands the dedication plaque with the coat of arms, honoring the virtues of Superintendent Giovanni Nani, who had the building expanded in 1625. Ammunition, provisions, tools, and reserve artillery mounts were stored inside. In the 19th century, the building was used as a barracks known as Montezemolo and remained in use until the mid-1990s, most recently housing the Pozzuolo Brigade. It is currently being restored.

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.
