It is also home to an ancient university, which has been teaching students for over eight centuries, and notable historical figures such as <strong>Tito Livio<\/strong> and <strong>Ippolito Nievo<\/strong>. Situated in the heart of the Veneto region, Padua holds more central importance than Verona, which is closer to Lombardy, or Venice, which is protected by its lagoon. It is a significant hub for economic, cultural and artistic activities. Meanwhile, the surrounding province is nothing short of enchanting, containing volcanic areas that produce therapeutic waters, with the result that the Euganean Hills can boast the largest spa district in Europe. Both the northern and southern parts of the province offer a host of delightful landscapes, and a wealth of impressive yet hospitable historical residences.<br \/>\nOur itinerary begins in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcittadella.it\/en\/homepage-en\/\">Cittadella<\/a>, a prominent centre in Upper Padua and the only walled city in all of Europe to have a medieval, 1.5-kilometre-long Parapet Walkway that is fully accessible, thanks to a 20-year restoration project completed in 2013. Key sites to visit include the <strong>Casa del Capitano<\/strong>, the <strong>Torre di Malta<\/strong> (a tower which was once a prison, established by <strong>Ezzelino da Romano<\/strong>), the <strong>Cathedral with its art gallery<\/strong>, the <strong>Palazzo della Loggia<\/strong> and, for a gastronomic treat, the Trattoria alla Nave, a local favourite for over 40 years. In nearby Fontaniva lies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/villa-gallarati-scotti\/\"><strong>Villa Gallarati Scotti<\/strong><\/a>, a historical residence built in the 16th century and a national monument since 1925, which contains a park designed in the early 19th century. This romantic park and the neo-Gothic chapel designed by <strong>Pietro Selvatico Estense<\/strong>, a student of <strong>Jappelli<\/strong>, are open for public visits.<br \/>\nContinuing from Cittadella towards Padua along the Valsugana Strada Statale 47 route, you will reach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/villa-bolzonella\/\"><strong>Villa Bolzonella<\/strong><\/a> a few kilometres further on. This Villa features a medieval tower from the 1200s, while the main building, its garden and the oratory date back to the 1500s. The English-style garden here is also attributed to Jappelli. The residence is available for private events and ceremonies, including religious rites, and can be visited with limited access to the garden, church and selected rooms inside the Villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Padua is known as the \u2018city of the doorless caf\u00e9\u2019 (founded in 1831 by Antonio [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,503],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-veneto-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Veneto - The historical residences of Padua and the surrounding area | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/the-historical-residences-of-padua-and-the-surrounding-area\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Veneto - The historical residences of Padua and the surrounding area | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Padua is known as the \u2018city of the doorless caf\u00e9\u2019 (founded in 1831 by Antonio [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/the-historical-residences-of-padua-and-the-surrounding-area\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-18T20:59:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:20:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Vista_aerea_delle_mura_di_Cittadella.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"933\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/the-historical-residences-of-padua-and-the-surrounding-area\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/the-historical-residences-of-padua-and-the-surrounding-area\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Veneto &#8211;
