Beautiful walled town. Built by Padua in response to the construction of Castelfranco by Venice

Beautiful completely walled village. Between the 12th and 13th centuries Padua, one of the most important municipalities in the Veneto, gave impetus to an important expansionist push, soon coming into conflict with the neighboring Vicenza and Treviso. The latter, around 1195, began the construction of Castelfranco, a small military outpost near the border marked by the Muson torrent. Padua's response was not long in coming and in 1220, on the opposite bank of the river, the construction of the Cittadella began. The new fortified village, designed by Benvenuto da Carturo, however, presents original characteristics that clearly differentiate it from Castelfranco; it is not a small and compact castle with a quadrangular shape, but a real city with an airy, rounded plan, equipped with its own statutes and government autonomy. In this way, Padua not only intends to create a military garrison, but also an administrative and economic center to encourage the colonization of the territory between the Brenta and the Muson. Until the beginning of the fifteenth century, Cittadella followed the fate of the mother city, passing from the lordship of Ezzelino III da Romano to that of the Carraresi, the Scaligeri and again the Carraresi.
