Palmanova - a symmetric fortified city in Italy
This commune city, located in the north-east of the country, was laid in the late 16th century, with the direct support of the government of the Venetian Republic. Palmanova was to become a model of the city-fortress.
Later, the residents themselves tried to implement the utopian idea that symmetry really helps people to live and develop. The shape of the nine-cornered star was formed so that any of the nine "corners" could in the event of an attack receive support and help from the neighboring "corner". The city could be reached through one of the three gates. Inside, the city consists of three "ring-level" racks. The author of the project of the fortified city was the famous Italian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi.
