Guided tour of one of the most representative and iconic symbols of the city at sunset: the tall tower, known as Specola by the people of Padua, actually recalls the domination of the condottiero Ezzelino III da Romano, who in 1242 built a castle with two towers; we will delve into the larger and more slender of the two, discovering that it was partly used as a prison.

From Castello it will become “Specula Astronomica” or one of the most beautiful astronomical observatories in 18th century Europe, visited by famous figures such as Goethe, who in 1786 described in his travel diary the splendid panorama he was able to admire from the top of the tower of the Observatory.

A single visiting session is scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m.

A contribution of € 15 is required per participant (€ 13 for members), and for children up to 12 years old, € 9.

Advance reservation is necessary, via WhatsApp message to 3716890812.
