Erected as a longobardic fort probably in the XI century, later became the manor of Ezzelino da Romano, who built the Palace (1249-56). It was then extended by the ruler family of Padua, the Carraresi and later by the aristocratic Venetian family, the Marcello.
It was restored between 1935 and 1939 by Vittorio Cini. Inside, one of the best collections of ancient weapons along with precious furniture, rugs, sculptures and paintings.

CASTELLO DEL CATAJO
Via Catajo - Battaglia Terme (PD)
The Obizzi Family, who originally came from the Borgogna province in France, can be considered, in our national history, a family of soldiers of fortune, arrived in Italy following the army of the emperor Arrigo II in 1007. After the First World War, the Catajo was left to the Italian Goverment, that later sold it to the Dalla Francesca Family in 1929.
