Overlooking a bend in the Po di Goro River, the Estense Castle of Mesola recalls the presence of the Este family, who wanted the most imposing of the Delights here for their own recreation, to hunt or to impress their guests.
It was built in 1578 at the behest of Duke Alfonso II to counter the overwhelming power of Venice just a few kilometers from the Gran Bosco della Mesola.
A destination for nature-loving sports tourism, the Mesola area offers ideas for excursions, such as the green expanse of the Gran Bosco, where you can also enter by bicycle for a pleasant stroll through the shady paths.
