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.

Completed in 1912, it represents the last type of fortress, a concept brutally swept away in the first months of the Great War. It had six cupolas with 149mm guns, never used and immediately dismantled to be taken to the battle front. On the attack front, it was covered by a large embankment, now removed, exposing the massive reinforced concrete structure. The entire wide, rectangular moat surrounding it has been filled in; the original sliding bridge with riveted iron girders remains. It was maintained and cared for until recently by the Military Property Office. It is located near the Ponte Damo roundabout, not far from the Riviera del Brenta. It is still formally owned by the Military Property Office, under concession to the Municipality of Mira. Currently, although in excellent condition, it cannot be visited. Outside, in the adjacent buffer area, there is a children's playground. https://www.magicoveneto.it/venezia/forti/Forte-Poerio.htm https://www.comune.mira.ve.it/vivere-il-comune/luoghi/parco-di-forte-poerio/

One of the palaces built by Ezzelino III, known as the Terrible, witness to medieval Padua. The original manufacture appears to date from the 12th century. Ezzelino Palace The architectural image seems to have been largely configured around the 13th century, due to the similarities with the municipal buildings of the same period, clearly visible for example in the shapes of the stained glass windows on the upper floor. The house, surmounted by an elegant 15th-century Nanto stone coat of arms, was affected by fire in 1760, from 1794 to 1873 the rooms above the vault were reduced to a theater hall. On the facade of the building to the right of the Volto della Malvasia, a plaque with a bronze medallion was barbarically hung here in 1944 in memory of Flavio Busonera, member of the resistance. The palace is currently a private building and cannot be visited internally. Source: https://www.padovanet.it/informazione/palazzo-di-ezzelino

The origins of the castle date back to Roman times, when the building was used as a fortification. Over the centuries the complex passed through the hands of various owners. In 1152 to the bishop of Treviso, from 1158 the Tempesta family were vassals and in January 1220, Count Guido ceded the rights to Aldevrandino da Superno. Built in a strategic position, on the border between the territories of Treviso and Padua, it was the scene of numerous battles. Conquered definitively by the Venetians in the seventeenth century, the complex passed to the Venier family who carried out renovations.
