Montagnana

The city of towers

Moselice's CastelThe two kilometres of medieval city walls broken up by 24 majestic hexagonal towers that stand 19 metres high: the pride of Montagnana, defensive outpost since antiquity. At the padua gate, the St. Zeno Castele is wort a visit while on the opposite side you will find the Alberi Fortress. The imposing bastion complex protects such equally imposing works as the Cathedral with canvas by Paolo Veronese or the Chiesa di San benedetto that preserves a canvas by Palma the Yunger. The popularity of the city is also linked to wines and foods with the production of the Veneto Berico D.O.P. (Denomination of Protected Origin) hams.
