Soave Castle

The stone fortress rises on a hilltop with thick defensive walls, three courtyards, and multiple towers connected by walkways overlooking the Veneto region.

The Scaliger family expanded the fortress during the 14th century, transforming the original military structure into a strategic control point for the surrounding territory.

The castle preserves medieval architectural elements including a drawbridge, internal passages, church remains, and a central tower displaying construction methods from different periods.

Visitors can explore the castle from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00-12:00 and 15:00-18:00 in summer, with modified afternoon hours of 14:00-16:00 during winter.

The castle contains a water well system and defensive structures that protected inhabitants during long sieges, with provisions storage areas in underground chambers.
