Mura Venete

The Rocca d’Anfo, defined by the Venetian senate as the gateway to the state, during the period of the Republic of the Serenissima was made up of a fortification that developed along the entire slope of the mountain and fulfilled two main tasks: the lower complex controlled the border and the road by means of two drawbridges, while the upper part had a defensive function. In order to reach the second block, it was necessary to overcome a certain difference in height with overhanging rocks, passing through a series of ladders that served as connecting routes.

This route defined, given its origin, Venetian Walls developed and still develops today, winding between the rocks along a line of double curtain walls with loopholes that almost creates a corridor of separation with the rest of the mountain slope.
