What we observe in the plant "staràlike" visible in the picture on this page?  
The geometric, regular structure of the city, expression of the artists of the Renaissance, they thought that those who create works of art must seek above all order and harmony.  
But the plant of Palmanova, with roads that radiate from the center and start connecting it to the periphery, it also reflects the concern of the military engineers of the time to allow for the rapid movement of troops within the city. It should be recalled that at the end of the sixteenth century, when in fact Palmanova was built, had already entered into operation using military artillery, much of the military strategy was changed, and the fundamental concern of the officers had to move quickly from one point to another pieces of fire to allow an effective defense of the positions. 
At the realization of Palmanova worked famous architects of the time, among them Giulio Savorgnan, Vincenzo Scamozzi and Longhena. One of the visits to be made in Palmanova is the interesting local history museum.
