Castle, Medieval fortress in Bassano del Grappa, Italy
The castle stands on a hill overlooking the Brenta River, featuring stone and brick walls with characteristic defensive towers and perimeter fortifications.
During the 13th century, Ezzelino III da Romano used this castle as his command center until a papal crusade led to his downfall.
The castle structure reflects northern Italian military architecture, with multiple construction phases visible in its walls and defensive elements.
Visitors can reach the castle's upper terrace through a passage near the Ser Ivano tower for views of Monte Grappa and the surrounding region.
The castle structure now functions as an opera venue, combining medieval architecture with modern cultural performances in its restored spaces.
