🔘Palmanova🔘
⚫It is a town and comune in Northeast Italy.
⚫The town is an example of star fort of the late Renaissance, built up by the Venetian Republic in 1593.
⚫Between the points of the star, ramparts protruded so that the points could defend each other.
⚫A moat surrounded the town, and three large, guarded gates allowed entry.
⚫The construction of the first circle, with a total circumference of 7 kilometres (4 mi), took 30 years.
⚫The second phase of construction took place between 1658 and 1690, and the outer line of fortifications was completed between 1806 and 1813
