Despite its name, the tower was never used as a dovecote. Built in the 14th century, it served instead to guard the canal, once connected to the lagoon.

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.

The Colombara Tower, near Forte Tron, dates back to the first half of the 19th century. It is neo-Gothic in style and has a square plan with openings on all four sides. It was never used for breeding poultry, but instead served as a territorial control point and a private gateway to the monumental complex behind it.

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/

Military fortress near Malcontenta

An impressive architectural gem that is easy to overlook.

dating back to the first half of the 19th century, also called "Specola", not appears to have never been used as a col- Bay; it was rather a private tower which served as access to the complex behind it and as a control over the territory, the street (the ancient Via Bottenigo) and the canal Brentella-Lusore which, crossing the lands and salt marshes of Bottenigo, communicated with the Venetian lagoon, before the . creation of the area industrial of Porto Marghera. The Tower has a square plan with openings on each side and archi- neo-Gothic tectonics. The complex behind it, formerly called Villa Bottenigo or Palazzo Tron, develops around a manor house with a heavily remodeled central nucleus probably dating back to the 15th century, characterized by the typical tripartite layout with a central passing hall. To the east, a subsequent adjacent extension (16th century) can be identified with large granaries, cellars and a room decorated with frescoes attributed to the school of Veronese. Around the main building there is a complex enclosed by walls with other annexes, porticoes and smaller houses. To the south, near the canal, there is the small eighteenth-century church of the district dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario whose facade was rebuilt in 1925 BC following a collapse.

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. After a long period of abandonment, recently, thanks to the renovation work by Paolo Bertan, the building has undergone further adaptations to be adapted into an accommodation facility https://www.villeveneteforyou.com/castelli/castello-di-stigliano/
