Castle of San Martino della Vaneza

The Castle of San Martino della Vaneza stands along the Bacchiglione River with a central tower and fortified walls marking its military architecture.

Built in the 12th century as a military outpost between Padua and Vicenza, the castle became property of the Carraresi family in 1324.

The castle houses the Bacchiglione River Museum, displaying archaeological artifacts from Neolithic times through medieval and modern periods.
