A quintessential example of a star fort, Palmanova was a brainchild of the Venetian Republic, founded in 1593 to celebrate their victory over the Ottoman Empire. The town's impeccable design was the work of Vincenzo Scamozzi, intended as a utopian settlement providing equal opportunities for all its inhabitants. The town was constructed in three stages, with the final construction encompassing nine bastions, nine lunettes, nine ravelins, and eighteen cavaliers, earning Palmanova its unique nine-point star appearance.

Over the centuries, Palmanova has witnessed several regimes, from the Napoleonic rule to the Austrians until it was eventually annexed to Italy in 1866. Today, the fortifications of Palmanova are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for their sophisticated engineering and defensive sophistication. Touches of history reach every corner of the town, from its Duomo to the three monumental gates, the austere city walls and the central Piazza Grande, living vestiges of a rich past now awaiting your discovery.
