ON THE HIGH WALLS, THE RED CART OF THE LORDS OF PADUA
Duration: 7 hours
Over time, the memory of the great noble families and their valiant deeds remains engraved: this tour tells of the powerful Paduan family of the Carraresi and the red cart, witness of their dominion over the ancient lands of Padua.
The tour begins in the enchanting Villa Contarini in Piazzola.
After riding along Brenta River, you will reach Cittadella, where the fortified walls preserve the beauty of the city like a precious secret treasure chest. Walking the ancient perimeter at a height of 45 feet/15 meters is a journey through time. Enjoy an E-Boat ride along the moat of the walls*. An aperitif with a marvelous view of the ancient walls concludes the first part of the day.
Gently riding the Palladian E-Bike, we continue towards the town of Castelfranco, an ancient port of call for trade with the north. The streets of the town center share centuries of history of the powerful family.
In the Clock Tower, the red chariot in the vault is a historical reminder of the glorious past of the "safe" city.
After the visit, we enjoy the Bolasco Park where a procession of white statues admires the enchanting lake of water lilies creating an idyllic scene.
* The E-Boat is available on June, July and August
