Palmanova constitutes one of the most successful and unique masterpieces of Venetian military architecture, with a star-shaped plan enriched by bulwarks, ravelins and lunettes, the latter added by Napoleon in the first decade of the 19th century.

Palmanova

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1593 by the Republic of Venice, Palmanova is a fortress-city preserved in extraordinary condition. A Unesco World Heritage Site since 2017, Palmanova is a splendid model of an ideal Renaissance city and an example of military architecture. Its star shape is unmistakable and its Piazza Grande is not to be missed, a vast parade ground located exactly in the center of the fortress.

Church of the Most Holy Redeemer

Highlight • Religious Site

The Doge Cathedral, dedicated to the SS. Redentore, was built between 1615 and 1636 under the direction of the Fortifications Office of Venice.
The façade, in white Vrsar and gray Aurisina stone, is divided into two orders: a lower one, of giant semi-columns, and an upper one with three niches for the statues of the Redeemer and Saints Mark and Justina. On the tympanum there is a winged lion whose original version, destroyed by the French in 1797, was replaced with the current one by the Palmarino sculptor Ferdinando Busetti (1893-1894). The reduced height of the bell tower prevented the building from being exposed to the range of enemy artillery.
The Cathedral has a single nave with wooden trusses inside and houses the Altarpiece of the Militia of Padovanino, the wooden Madonnina attributed
to Domenico da Tolmezzo and, in the sacristy, the gallery with portraits of some Superintendents General.
