This experience to discover the walled city of Monselice starts from the Cini Castle, a treasure chest containing ancient weapons, chests, valuable tapestries and splendid period furnishings from all over Italy.
We will continue the discovery of the walled city of Monselice by climbing along what has been defined as the most beautiful walk in the Veneto, via del Santuario, with its famous Seven Churches which recall the Seven Basilicas of Rome and which are still a popular pilgrimage destination for devotees from from all over Europe.
There will be no shortage of panoramic points from which to admire the walled city of Monselice from above, surrounded by the splendid Villa Duodo which stands on the top of Colle della Rocca.
