The Venetian Works of defence between 15th and 17th centuries
The Venetian Works of defence between 15th and 17th centuries, Military fortification system in northern Italy
The Venetian Works of Defence features bastions, walls, and moats extending across multiple locations to protect the territories of the Venetian Republic.
Between the 15th and 17th centuries, these fortifications served as protection against Ottoman expansion and other European powers through innovative military engineering.
The architectural elements of the defense system demonstrate the evolution of military construction techniques during the Renaissance period in Mediterranean territories.
Visitors can access guided tours in Bergamo, Peschiera del Garda, and Palmanova to explore the extensive network of walls, gates, and fortified structures.
The pentagonal fortress of Peschiera del Garda incorporates five bastions and sits directly on Lake Garda, combining water and land defense strategies.
