Este Castle of Mesola
Four imposing towers with crenellated walls
The construction of the Mesola Castle took place in 1578 on the recommendation of Duke Alfonso II, the last descendant of the Este dynasty.

Today the Mesola Castle consists of 4 large towers, crenellated walls and very large windows.
Historians have identified it as a unique case, the pleasant encounter between a fortress and a residence dedicated to comforts.
Only twenty years later from the laying of the first stone, the Papal States returned to the possession of the Duchy of Ferrara and consequently also of Mesola, depriving Alfonso II of the power of "armed" delight.
