Castello di Marostica, Medieval fortress in Marostica, Italy
The Castello di Marostica consists of two castles connected by an 1800-meter wall system featuring four entrance gates and defensive towers.
The Scaligeri family initiated the construction of both castles in 1312, establishing Marostica as a military stronghold under the command of Cangrande della Scala.
The castle grounds host a human chess game every even-numbered year in September, where local residents dress in period costumes to recreate a 1454 match.
Visitors can access the castle complex through four gates: Porta Vicentina, Porta Breganzina, Porta Bassanese, and Porta del Castello Superiore.
The Castello Superiore restaurant operates within the upper castle walls, serving regional Venetian dishes with views across the surrounding landscape.
