What you can expect
By this experience we will discover the walled town Monselice.
First we visit the Cini Castle, the completely furnished medieval castle of the town. A real “treasure chest” with ancient weapons, coffers, fine tapestries and splendid period furnishings from all over Italy. Step by step, you will listen the history of this fascinating place, discover how its ancient inhabitants lived and enjoy unexpected views of enchanting gardens. The Carraresi, the Scaligeri, the Visconti, the Este, are only some of the famous Seigniories that contended the Castle’s possession, whose spirits still seem to hunt in the rooms of the ancient manor.
After that, the journey in the walled town Monselice continues by walking up Colle della Rocca, along what has been described as the most beautiful promenade in the Veneto region, via del Santuario, with its famous Seven Churches. Reminiscent of the Seven Basilicas of Rome, this walk is the only one who has the same meaning of the pilgrimage of Rome and is an unknown and curios destination for devotees from all over Europe.
We will reach the top of the walk we’ll enjoy Villa Duodo, the Church of Saint George and last but not least the great panorama of the walled town Monselice from the top.
Finally we will visit an oil mill, where the young owners will directly show you the art of oil production and involve us in a tasty tasting of extra virgin olive oil (EVO).
