Description

It was autumn 1593 when the Superintendents sent from Venice identified among some villages of a territory disputed with Austria, a plot on which to erect a fortress able to defend the city of Venice from the Turkish invasions and aspirations of the Austrian Empire: thus Palmanova was born, a nine-pointed star, which encapsulates the military expectations and the Renaissance dream of an ideal city.

With the audio guide, you can take a journey back in time to discover the secrets of the most beautiful star city, you can get caught up in the difficult game between besieged and besiegers, made up of rules, pitfalls and secrets to unravel.

Are you ready? We will tell you about the gates to the city, the Venetian aqueduct, the system of rivels and bulwarks.
