Beautiful Castle on the route

Beautiful medieval fortress under restoration and currently not open to visitors.

Longio is beautiful. You have to go there several times to take in all the impressions.

Magnificent view on one side of Sovizzo and on the other of Montecchio Maggiore. Sometimes it hosts events (theatre, open-air cinema, medieval events).

A medieval fortress, destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, built on the hills of Montecchio Maggiore for its strategic position along the Via Postumia, controlling the passage between Verona and Vicenza. A previous fortification likely existed in Roman times. It is known as "Romeo's Castle" by tradition and folklore: Luigi da Porto, a military leader and man of letters, retired from military life and wrote the first novel about Romeo and Juliet in 1531 in his residence in Montorso, overlooking the two castles. In the 19th century, at the height of Romanticism, legend arose that the two castles, so close yet so far away, inspired him to imagine them as belonging to the rival families of the Montecchi and the Cappelletti. Shakespeare later drew inspiration from his work to make the tragic love story famous. Today, the castle occasionally hosts cultural events (concerts, theater, open-air cinema); it is open on weekends (see link); Free access to both the walls and the tower, from the top of which you can enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama. https://www.prolocoaltemontecchio.it/cosa-vedere/castelli-di-giulietta-e-romeo/ https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelli_di_Romeo_e_Giulietta

Beautiful tour between Montebello and Vicenza !!

Definitely a nice route, quite easy and quiet because it is not crowded. Allow me to correct the length of the route, which is not about 8 km as written, but well over 12, this is for information only. Advised.
