The current castle of Este was built in the years 1339-1340, on the initiative of the Lord of Padua Ubertino da Carrara. With a wall perimeter about 1000 m long, defended by 14 towers (now reduced to 12) and lying on the slopes of Mount Murale, this fortress has actually replaced the first castle, that of the Marquis of Este, built on the hill area since the eleventh century and seriously damaged by the wars of '200 and '300. In the fourteenth century, after having incorporated the flat area to the south and east of the original nucleus, the castle of Carrara housed in its interior troop quarters, armories, stables, perhaps even homes, remaining separated from the village of Este through the channel Sirone that ran along the current Via G. Negri. The castle, with its two "maistre" towers, the one at the top and the one at the Porta del Soccorso (which opens towards Baone), remained intact for over two centuries, until it was purchased by the powerful Venetian Mocenigo family in the second half of the 16th century. The inland area, instead, now devoid of any military use, already after the Venetian conquest at the beginning of the 15th century began to undergo changes in use, with the planting of orchards, the cultivation of part of the land and even the construction of small houses to house the "fittavoli". Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, under the ownership of the Mocenigo family, a vast garden was created, extending as far as the foothills on either side of a scenic staircase. The sculptures still visible today on the southern side of the castle date back to this period. A devastating fire in 1785 caused the destruction of the east wing of the Venetian palace; in the first half of the 19th century the whole complex was bought by the Trieste family, and then passed to the Da Zara brothers, who in 1887 sold it to the Municipality. Once it became public property, the monument changed its use again: the surviving wing of Palazzo Mocenigo was chosen as the prestigious seat of the city's archaeological museum (which later became the national museum), while the north-eastern area of the Carrarese castle was used as the Foro Boario, i.e. the place for the cattle market. The eighteenth-century park underwent a radical transformation in the years 1914-15, when it was decided to resitemare the green area, already used as a public garden. The works involved the demolition of the steep Venetian staircase and the creation of sloping terraces. This is how the Italian gardens as we know them today take shape, with orderly avenues and geometric flowerbeds, which preserve several centuries-old plants. The most noteworthy are the monumental wisteria (which overlooks the secondary door on the south side of the walls) and some specimens of cedars of Lebanon and the Himalayas.&nbsp;
