The city walls or "mura comunali" were built at the start of the 13th century, thats why local people call them colloquialy "Mura Duecentesche". Their route was delimited by the two branches of the Bacchiglione, the Tronco Maestro and the Naviglio Interno, which came to be used as defensive ditches. The only gates to remain from this walls are the main north gate Porta Molino, and the main west gate Porta Altinate.
