Wonderful medieval crenellated tower, in the Estense castle of Arquà Polesine. It is the most important and best preserved medieval complex in Polesine.

Walking on the cycle/pedestrian path that connects Polesella to Guarda Veneta you can enjoy a splendid view of the Po river. You walk on the embankment, so the view is always raised above the river. A really pleasant walk.

History The first mention of Ro occurs in a bull of Pope Martin II of 944. The document was published by Muratori, who doubts its reliability. The parish church in the course of various events of disputes was destroyed. In 1774, based on a design, it seems, by the arch. Antonio Foschini, the current church was elevated, with sober and elegant lines. The bell tower dates back to 1882, as can be read in documents conserved in the parish archive. In 1818, by decree of Pope Pius VII, the parish of Ro, together with Zocca, Guarda Ferrarese, Cornacervina and Rero passed from the diocese of Adria to that of Ferrara. Ro obtained its own municipal autonomy in 1908, separating from the Municipality of Copparo for the law. of the Hon. Melli n. 752.

The walls of Ferrara are not only a military structure but, over the centuries and in particular some of its parts, they have become a large garden that surrounds the Renaissance core of the city.

At this point of the FE20 Venice-Turin cycle path there is the bridge that crosses the Po river from Ro to Polesella, in Veneto territory. From here you can reach the bread museum. At sunset it is particularly suggestive to take a break.
