Overview
-
Over time, the memory of the great noble families and their valiant deeds remains engraved: this tour tells of the powerful Paduan family of the Carraresi and the red cart.
The tour begins in the enchanting Cittadella, where the fortified walls preserve the beauty of the city. Walking the ancient walls at a height of 45 feet is a journey through time. From the silent voyage on board the E-Boat, you can see the coat of arms painted on the tower of Porta Padova, the ancient access to the city.
Riding the E-Bike, we continue towards the town of Castelfranco, an ancient port of call for trade. The streets of the town center share centuries of history and in the inn, lunch is served.
In the Clock Tower, the red chariot in the vault is a historical reminder of the glorious past of the city.
After the visit, we enjoy the Paco Bolasco Park where white statues adorn the enchanting lake of water lilies.
Returning to Cittadella, it is time to enjoy an aperitif with a view of the ancient walls.
