the central piazza of Palmanova reflects the shape of the town's fortress layout and is interesting for that as well as for its unusually large size, the water features in the centre, and its collection of interesting, attractive buildings and statues which all reflect its past role as important fortress town. It is certainly worth a visit if one is in Palmanova and is one of the key sights in town. The town itself is moderately interesting due to its history and layout as a fortress town and is worth a visit if one is in the area and has time. There are places to eat or relax around the piazza and there is a small tourist information centre just off it on a street. That said, the town and its piazza have limitations and are not an important must-see. We stopped here because we were driving back to Venice from Slovenia and, having been to Venice before, didn't need any more time in that town so we had some time to visit another place. We had earlier on the trip been in Treviso and did not have enough to to visit any place else of note on this day.

Given the town planning of this town the hexagonal piazza is very interesting to see. The town as such doesn’t rate as interesting as places like Udine which is quite close but if you are in the area drop past
