   The Soave Castle

   1h

   The impressive fortress, dominating the village of Soave, knew its highest splendor in the 13th century, under the authority of Verones family Della Scala. In 1379, under the same government, the whole town was circled by defensive wall, still visible. After the decline of Della Scala family, the manor was ceased to the Visconti from Milan, then shortly to the CArraresi from Padua and finally to the Republic of Venice. During the 16th century, the castle was awarded by the Republic of the "Antenna", a high pole supporting the flag of St. Mark's lion. Later. the castle went under a period of decay, until the massive restoration of 1890.
