Beautiful gate of the city walls of Vicenza, with tower

After paying €5 you can enjoy the beautiful views. The city walls, with its 32 towers, have a length of 1461 meters. Access to the walls is only possible via the tourist information point.

Vicenza's medieval western city gate is quite impressive. The foundations date from the 12th century. The name of the nearby square tells us that this location was the site of the great Ezzelini fortress in the 14th century. It was a square area with a castle and a wet vest. In the 17th century the fortress lost its defensive role and the site changed shape and purpose. The north wing was converted into a palace overlooking the old garden. Dr fortress was almost completely dismantled by the 17th and 18th centuries. The only silent witnesses from these early Middle Ages are the Torrione and the parade ground.

The tower was built in the 12th century at the western entrance to the historic center of the city of Vicenza. In 1343 it was heavily rebuilt during the Scaliger occupation and became part of the medieval city walls. In modern times, for traffic reasons, the actual entrance arch was doubled and extended by two pedestrian walkways.

The climb begins with a view of the Upper Castle, which stands on the highest point of the Pausolino hill. The castle built in Roman times and then revived in the Middle Ages, has a square base with four small towers on the sides and a large central tower, surrounded by cypresses.
