The town of Cittadella with its wonderful circle of walls was built in 1220 out of the will of the city-state of Padua.
Since then, the most typical peculiarities of the town have been the exceptional circle of walls and its strategic position within the Paduan territory.
For a short period Cittadella was ruled by Ezzelino da Romano, and in the second part of the XIII century it had greatly developed and had a strategic role towards the surrounding territory. In 1236, Padua granted Cittadella the right to have its own statutes. During the XIV century Cittadella's role increased and the Podesteria (tenue of a Podesta) enlarged.
After many violent happenings, Cittadella knew three centuries of peace, interrupted in 1797, when Napoleon's troops took possession of the whole territory belonging to the Venetian Republic. From 1814, Cittadella suffered also of the Austrian occupation, which ended in 1866, the year when it was finally annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.
