Castello di Mestre, Medieval castle in Mestre, Italy.
The stone fortress features eight defensive towers and thick brick walls surrounded by a deep moat in the center of Mestre.
The castle gained importance in 1337 when Venetians replaced its original fortifications as part of their territorial expansion strategy on mainland Italy.
The fortress maintains its position as a central gathering point where residents participate in regional festivals and traditional celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking regular buses from Venice Piazzale Roma, with services running every 15 minutes during daytime hours.
The castle's strategic location established Mestre as a vital connection point between Venice's maritime power and its mainland territories.
