Castello di Asolo, Medieval castle in Asolo, Italy
The stone fortress stands on a hilltop with three remaining towers: the Civic tower, the Reata tower, and the Carro tower, forming the city center.
The castle, first mentioned in 969, served as residence for Ezzelino da Romano in 1242 before becoming a Venetian administrative center in 1339.
In 1489, Queen Caterina Cornaro established her court here, attracting intellectuals and artists, including Pietro Bembo who wrote his dialogues in the castle gardens.
The castle now houses the Eleonora Duse Theater and offers a restaurant with views across the Venetian countryside from its elevated position.
The castle's clock tower remains visible throughout Asolo, while its western section was demolished in 1816 during structural modifications.
