«Palma, or Palmanova, is one of the most fortified and considerable cities in Europe: it belongs to Venetians and is the best defended rampart for their states facing Germany. Fortifications are so well laid out and executed, that foreigners go to see it moved by curiosity, as a masterwork of military architecture.» Carlo Goldoni, Memories (1787)
Palma, o Palmanova, è una delle più fortificate e considerevoli città d’Europa: appartiene ai Veneziani ed è il baluardo meglio difeso per i loro Stati dalla parte della Germania. Le fortificazioni sono così ben disposte ed eseguite, che i forestieri vanno a vederle per curiosità, come un capo d’opera di architettura militare.
