With its strategic location, the town was a medieval stronghold with fortifications, called the "walled city of the Veneto."[6] The main sight is the Palazzo della Magnifica Comunità ("Palace of the Magnificent Community"), built in 1447 by the eponymous council which then ruled the city. It has a merloned tower which was completed in 1491.
