The Padova Gate was once the main entrance to Cittadella. Frescoes (the cart of the Carraresi and the coat of arms of Padova – a red cross on a white field) stand out on the outside walls. The complex consists of 3 gates and a large arms court with a winding
staircase in cylindrical masonry. The most characteristic feature of the Padova Gate is
the massive “Torre di Malta” (Tower of Malta).
