Rocca dei Tempesta, Medieval fortress in Noale, Italy
The Rocca dei Tempesta features three remaining defensive towers and a northern keep, surrounded by a water-filled moat along its perimeter.
Construction of the fortress began in 1245 under the Tempesta family, feudal lords of Noale, and was completed in 1272 with military reinforcements.
The fortress stands at the intersection of ancient trade routes connecting major Venetian cities including Padua, Treviso, Venice, Cittadella, and Castelfranco.
The structure opens its gates for guided tours and hosts regular cultural events throughout the year in its restored medieval courtyard.
From 1819 to 1983, the fortress served as the town cemetery, with the last remains relocated in 1996 to enable restoration works.
