The city walls of Cittadella are a rare example of medieval means of defense with a still practicable, perfectly preserved parapet walk. As a matter of fact it is one of the most beautiful means of defense in Europe.The recent restoration and safeguarding of the ancient Parapet Walk allows visitors to admire the town from favoured viewpoints.
I had seen medieval castles before this one but this was definitely my best experience. Walking the walls of the castle gives you a unique perspective on medieval life. The views of the town within the castle as well as outside the walls is truly spectacular, especially with the mountains in the background. Expect the walk to take about an hour and a half. Cittadella is an excellent day trip for anyone interested in a real functioning medieval town.

Opened in 2014, this museum is on the site of the first ‘ospedale’. Focus is on history of medicine, here is the birthplace ..., human anatomy and a health and nutrition activity for the younger set. Definitely something for everyone. Don’t miss it! Diana and Winston, tucson AZ USA

The Jewish Heritage Museum of Padua means a multimedia experience together with the exhibition of a huge amount of Judaica from the past centuries to the present. The the visitor is introduced to the history of the Jews in Padua. Guided Tours to the Ghetto, to the five ancient cemeteries and to the Italian rite Synagogue (16th century) are provided by professional guides. A video installation (45 minutes) gives the visitor the opportunity to take part in the life of ten outstanding Jewish figures that populated the town in the past.
With its beautiful architecture and painstakingly selected objects of Jewish life, this little museum glows with the love of its curators. I have seen other Jewish museums that were larger, more elaborate with more artifacts but this museum warms the heart.This museum also exhibits a few items related to the race laws of Italy and ID documents - very rare artifacts.
