EXPLORE ITALY: The wall of Cittadella

17 September 2018 by Tausha Leave a Comment

We stumbled upon Cittadella two weekends ago while trying to get to Bassano del Grappa and looked around for a little bit – but didn’t get to explore as much as we wanted to – so today was the perfect opportunity to make it a day trip!

We took the bus from just outside of base to the train station downtown ( €2 each person) and then bought tickets for the train ride to Cittadella (€17 roundtrip for the three of us) and in just over 20 minutes we were there! Guys, I cannot wait until our car arrives – while I’m thankful for cheap public transportation and not having to drive the chaotic roads of Italy, it will be nice to just jump in the car and go!

Even just wandering around the exterior is gorgeous and would be a great backdrop for family photos. There are giant fish in the water that you can see, and even a restaurant right on the water with little twinkle lights above it. There circle has four entrances with a square in the middle & you can enter/exit at each gate. One entrance has an additional staircase that takes you to the top where you can walk around the entire wall. Cittadella is a medieval walled town founded in 1220 when nearby town Padua decided to build a fortified castle  in order to protect its country borders. The walls are a beautiful rare example of a medieval defensive system involving a parapet walkway.

This giant (absolutely gorgeous)  Cathedral/Museum & Art Gallery was built between 1774 and 1826 by three famous architects and houses an extensive art gallery. You can see the Cathedral from every vantage point on the walkway and only when you are right in front of it can you see how truly large it is.

The wall is 1461 meters in circumference (0.907 miles), 14 meters high (45 feet). The public safe parapet walkway is a 2 meter walk (1.24 miles) around the entire Cittadella wall. The wall includes several museum and re-enactment rooms where you can read about the history and events that took place. Entrance to the parapet is   (€5 for adults and €3 for children).

You know those plot twists that make you SIT STRAIGHT UP IN BED like WTF just happened 😵 <— it’s that kind of book. WOW.

THREE years ago today my sweet boy went missing. N THREE years ago today my sweet boy went missing. Not a single day has gone been where I didn’t think of him.....and for me, the unknown is the worst. We still don’t know if he is in a safe home, if he died that night, or after. It just breaks my heart to think he wasn’t surrounded by love in his final moments. Miss you Dexxy “brother” 🐾🌈

Thought I’d share a fun November adventure we we Thought I’d share a fun November adventure we went on to @oliobonamini We were able to see the amazing process of making olive oil & here is a basic breakdown of how it works:

First, a machine shakes the olives from the trees. The olives fall to a net on the ground.

Then the leaves are removed & the olives are washed in regular water.

Next, The olives are dropped into another machine that works like little hammers crushing the olives (skin, meat, pit, water and olive oil all together)

This paste is then kneaded by another machine for 30-40 minutes to make separation easier.

The next machine takes the paste and separates the solid parts from the liquid parts .

The liquid parts go into another machine that separates the oil from the water and you are left with an UNFILTERED olive oil.

The oil then goes into giant tanks until it is time to be bottled!
