Welcome to Castello di Valbona, a piece of history, culture, identity of the community that hosts us. It contains an interactive exhibition on the topic:

From the strength against the neighbours,
to the strength towards the territory for a healthy and cultivable environment.
Seven centuries in Valbona.


The exhibition is divided into two paths:
- one for the largest, which deals with military architecture, its application for the reclamation introduced by the Serenissima in the mid-fifteenth century, to sanitary and agricultural innovations, to cross the period of the Lombard-Venetian Kingdom, to arrive at the Opera dei Congresses, up to the systematic introduction of chemistry in the Second World War.
- the other for the little ones, where they are almost taken by the hand by characters who in the last nine centuries have been linked to the castle or its surroundings. From the Crusades to the present day, the little guests hear the story of their older brothers from the past; they examine their weapons and armor, trying them on, feeling their weight and perceiving the real hard life of the soldier and his sacrifices, but also of the scientist and explorer.

Both paths give tactile or in any case multisensory experiences, because the objects on display can be touched, tried on or worn.
Some of the texts and images are on display, some are accessible via smartphone, by downloading the free app, with in-depth information, quizzes and learning tests, full of fun achievements and with the possibility of winning prizes.
The exhibition itineraries are constantly evolving, being enriched with objects, modified along the way and seeing the texts implemented, so returning to Valbona definitely means finding and trying something new, every time.
The visit is free, since it is believed that the knowledge of history and culture in general contribute to making us and consolidating us civilized people, responsible towards ourselves, towards others, towards the environment that hosts us, aware of our Identity.
The sensitivity of each is left to make a responsible offer on the assumption that everything that arrives at the castle is reinvested here for the maintenance and improvement of the monument for the benefit of the next visitors and, we hope, of future generations.

Warning


The Castle of Valbona is a veritable medieval fortress, conceived as a military stronghold, with narrow, sometimes dangerous passages.
The site is a historical heritage, a protected monument that cannot be adjusted to modern standards.
We are committed to ensure a safe visit; nonetheless, adults are requested to accompany and watch over their children and all visitors are asked to visit the sections, according to their own attitude.
Please take care when climbing the staircase of the keep tower, the highest part of the castle.
In case of bad weather conditions, some sections will be closed to the public.
The weapons are not toys, but copies of the original ones displayed in the Castle of Monselice, hosting a great exhibition with swords dating back to the Second Crusade.
The swords are not sharp, edges and tips have been smoothed, but they have to be treated with care and extreme caution. We recommend all guests to pay attention when using it.
