Montagnana (Veneto)

Montagnana is a town in the province of Padova, in Veneto. Neighbouring communes are Saletto, Megliadino San Fidenzio, Casale di Scodosia, Urbana, Bevilacqua, Pojana Maggiore, Pressana, Minerbe and Roveredo di Guà. The town is part of the 'I Borghi più belli d'Italia' association (the most beautiful villages in Italy). The huge wall circuit surrounding Montagnana, reinforced by 24 hexagonal towers with Guelph battlements, has four openings (gateways) and show its grandeur on the north-east side. From the “piazzola di Giorgione” you can see the detachment, for colour and construction type, between the 13th-century section of the walls and the 14th-century section of the walls of the Carrara area, built with trachyte blocks alternating with brickwork.
