Medieval Castle Arquà Polesine - Live Video Recording
The fortress of Arquà, erected in 1146, commonly known as Castello Estense, is one of the few buildings in Italy that has the double enrolment in both the Castle Register and Historical Dwelling Register. The architecture is medieval and is the best preserved in the all province, as well as the unique physical proof of the large fortification net than used to control Canal Bianco. The building was erected on the will of Guglielmo III Marchesella degli Adelardi, Lord of Ferrara, to defeat the Estes in the territory of Rovigo. Shortly, in 1187, the building became propery of the Estes. With the entire region of Polesine, then, the castle of Arquà in 1395 became property of the Most Serene Republic of Venice in exchange for financial credit. The Venetians established in there a military district, equipping the castle with a garrison. The original difensive configuration, that was necessary to keep one of the most important places of Polesine, was lost after the victory on the so-called Salt War (circa 1480-1484). After the years between 1438 and 1482, when the building came back to the Estes, the Republic of Venice gave it, at the end, to the Diedos. In the XVI Century every builded military fortress were shot down, except for the castle of Arquà because its location was strategically important, as it was the only way to reach Canal Bianco and Po River, that meant the territories near Ferrara. The Diedos, family with probable Venetian origin.
