Padua we love: visit to the Specola at sunset
Saturday, July 18, 2026 – Padua
Guided tour at sunset to one of the most representative and iconic symbols of the city of Padua: the tall tower, known as Specola by the people of Padua, indeed recalls the domination of the warlord Ezzelino III da Romano, who in 1242 built a castle with two towers; we will delve into the taller and more slender of the two, discovering that it was partially used as a prison.
From Castle it will become “Specula Astronomica,” 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 could admire from the top of the Observatory tower. We will have the opportunity during the visit to observe our city at sunset.
There will be a single tour starting at 7:00 p.m.
A contribution of € 15 is required per participant (€ 13 for members), and for children up to 12 years old € 9
Advance booking is required, via WhatsApp message to 3716890812
