*Discover the Fortress town of PALMANOVA *

The fortress town of Palmanova, among the more important and better 
preserved examples of late Renaissance military architecture, was built 
by order of the Serenissima Republic of Venice in 1593. A better 
understanding of the reasons that induced the Venetians to erect 
Palmanova and to choose the site can be obtained by going back to the 
policy and culture of the previous century, both in Friuli and in 
Venice, and by taking into account the situation in Europe in relation 
to aspects concerning diplomacy, military technique and strategy as well 
as philosophic culture and catholic doctrine after the Council of Trent.
