Glimpse, illuminated by the sun and surrounded by the blue sky, of the Specola di Padova seat of the ancient astronomical observatory of the University of Padua. The observatory and museum are located on Torlonga, the larger of the two towers of the ancient Castle of Padua.nThe high tower recalls the tyranny of Ezzelino III da Romano who in 1242 had built a castle with two towers, the largest of which, as chronicles tell of the time, was the place where the tyrant kept his prisoners locked up and tortured. |
