Palmanova Essentials

Palmanova is a 16th-century Venetian fortress designed as a nine-pointed star, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. This selection highlights its unique geometric layout, centered on the hexagonal Piazza Grande and its white stone cathedral. The list covers the monumental gates of Porta Udine and Porta Aquileia, the extensive defensive bastions like Savorgnan and Foscarini, and Napoleonic-era military barracks. These sites illustrate the evolution of military engineering and the Renaissance concept of the 'ideal city'.
