Marostica, Medieval settlement in Veneto, Italy
The town stretches between two fortified castles connected by defensive walls, with a central square made of pink marble and white stone.
The Lower Castle and Upper Castle were constructed in the fourteenth century to protect the town under the rule of the Scaliger family.
The town hosts a chess game with human players in period costumes every two years, continuing a tradition from 1454.
Visitors can reach Marostica by taking regional trains to Bassano del Grappa station and then connecting to local bus services.
The main square transforms into a large chessboard where nobles, knights, and foot soldiers move according to chess rules.
