Outside of the town stands the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora del Pilastrello (Our Lady of the Pilaster), at the site of a shrine built in the 16th century to house an icon of the Madonna.

Lendinara is located in the north-east of the Italian peninsula, in the middle western part of Polesine province and it's crossed by the Adigetto river, that divides it in two.

Numerous archaeological finds such as cinerary urns, tombstones, coins, glass and even traces of road and hydraulic works, show that a primitive center already existed in Roman times.

Already in the XI century Lendinara was "illustrious Castle, enriched with many factories and towers, cultured population", as the Muratori called it.

The castle was located to the left of the Adigetto canal and was surrounded by fortifications that contained a large part of the town.

The castle had a five-story tower, and a pit that surrounded the whole town, only a wooden bridge connected the center with the fortress.
