From Padua, Tour to the walled city of Monselice

<p>With this tour of Monselice we will get to know this walled city that has inspired many writers, artists and poets. We will visit the Monselice Castle, a treasure chest inside which are concealed ancient weapons, chests, valuable tapestries, and splendid period furnishings from all over Italy. We will tell you the history of this fascinating place and see how its ancient inhabitants lived. The Carraresi, the Scaligeri, the Visconti, the Este, are some of the famous lords who contended for its possession, whose spirits are said to still hover among the rooms of the ancient manor. We will then ascend along what has been called the most beautiful promenade in the Veneto, via del Santuario, with its villas, its famous Sette Chiese (Seven Churches) reminiscent of the Sette Basiliche (Seven Basilicas) in Rome and still a popular pilgrimage destination for devotees from all over Europe.
