Cittadella is a small town in the Veneto region located in the province of Padua. Those who come to visit it are immediately impressed and fascinated by its beautiful medieval defensive walls that enclose a small historic center inside.

The imposing walls were built by the Municipality of Padua in 1220, shortly after the opposing city Treviso had built a similar city wall. The walls of the village, cited by Dante, are the main attraction of Citadella. The walkway, which can be traveled almost in full, offers a wonderful opportunity to spend time relaxing admiring the landscapes from the perspective of the city that is from the height of 12 meters.

They are enough to observe the details and elements of the circle: four entrance doors, enriched with arches and frescoes, and 32 towers. One of them, Torre di Malta built in 1251 as a prison, according to scholars, was named in the verses of Dante.

In Citadella there are not only the walls. There is the imposing cathedral with the splendid works by Jacopo Bassano and Palma the Younger in the Sacristy. The Duomo Museum is also worth a visit by offering visitors the works located in the cathedral in the different eras of its history.

There are numerous churches and the Convent of San Francesco. There are small streets and squares, animated especially in the evening when the inhabitants meet in the déhors to drink a traditional spritz.
