Mura di Cittadella
A fortified town of the 13th century with a complete oval wall, and a walkway of about 1.5 km along the top of the ramparts.
Padua built this fortified town in 1220. Its oval walls are well preserved, with four gates and 32 towers. The walkway along the top of the walls has been restored and is open to visitors. It runs about 1.5 km, offering views over the red-tiled roofs of the town and the surrounding fields. The Malipiero Tower houses a small museum. Admission is about €8. It is about 30 km from Padua, roughly 30 minutes by train.
