Discover the Castle of Soave: A Journey Through Centuries

The iconic Castle of Soave (Castello di Soave) is the crown jewel of the town, rising majestically above the rooftops and vineyards. Originally constructed in the 14th century, the castle has been expanded and embellished over the centuries, evolving from a defensive stronghold into a symbol of the town’s noble past.

Its central keep (or “mastio”) is flanked by three concentric defensive walls, which still embrace the old village below. The crenellated walls, winding elegantly along the hillside, give the impression of a protective embrace around the entire community.

From the top, you’ll enjoy panoramic views over the Soave wine region, with neat rows of vines stretching as far as the eye can see. The castle also houses historical artifacts and offers guided tours that immerse visitors in its rich legacy.

Beyond its castle, Soave’s historic center is a delightful place to explore on foot. Cobblestone streets, well-preserved medieval gates, charming piazzas, and Renaissance-style buildings speak of a vibrant past.
