About Christmas under the Walls
Christmas in the Walled City
Christmas under the Walls of Cittadella is the grand collection of Christmas events that, from late November until Epiphany, illuminates the walled city in the province of Padua with lights and atmosphere. The heart of the celebration is Piazza Pierobon, where the large Christmas tree and an ice skating rink are set up.
Lights, Markets, and Fun
Throughout the Christmas season, the historic center is filled with lights and decorations, Christmas markets in dedicated areas, and a children's train that runs through the streets. The medieval walls, illuminated for the occasion, offer an exceptional setting for walks, shopping, and family moments.
