The medieval fortress of Stigliano was first mentioned in 1152 as a feudal property of the Bishop of Treviso. However, its origins may date back to Roman times due to its location in the "graticolato" area. In 1158, it was entrusted to the Tempesta family of Noale and then to the Teutonic Knight Aldobrandino da Superno. Built in a strategic position, alongside the Muson dei Sassi stream, it marked the border between the territories of Padua and Treviso. Therefore, it was the scene of numerous brutal battles until the end of the fourteenth century. It was here, however, that the disputes between the Carraresi and the Serenissima Republic of Venice began. It was the Venetians who finally conquered it in 1520, when it was sold to the Priuli family, who transformed it into a typical Venetian villa of the time. The entire complex then became the property of the Venier family, who further renovated it. Today, only the northeast corner tower remains of the original castle.

Nice corner

Ducal Palace

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

Already an impressive building and many stories about it

The columns of St. Mark and St. Theodore in Venice are iconic symbols of the city. St. Mark's Column: This column is on the left as you look out toward the lagoon. At the top of this column, you'll find the winged lion of St. Mark, the symbol of the city. You'll see this lion in many places during your tours of Venice. St. Mark's Column was brought from Constantinople and placed in Venice in 1172. St. Theodore's Column: The column of St. Theodore is on the right. At the top of this column, you'll see a figure of St. Theodore treading on a dragon. It's a copy, but the original is in the Doge's Palace. St. Theodore was the patron saint of Venice before the relics of St. Mark were brought. I hope this information is helpful! 😊

here once were the prisons of the Duchy of Ve
