Beautiful gate of the city walls of Vicenza, with tower

A particular and suggestive place, accessible by gravel bike or mountain bike if you have at least an average level of training.

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

Vicenza's medieval western city gate is quite impressive. The foundations date from the 12th century. The name of the nearby square tells us that this location was the site of the great Ezzelini fortress in the 14th century. It was a square area with a castle and a wet vest. In the 17th century the fortress lost its defensive role and the site changed shape and purpose. The north wing was converted into a palace overlooking the old garden. Dr fortress was almost completely dismantled by the 17th and 18th centuries. The only silent witnesses from these early Middle Ages are the Torrione and the parade ground.

If you are coming from Fimon: it goes downhill for a long stretch, then steeply uphill to the castle. Shortly after that it goes downhill again. If you want to go back to Fimon and continue from there, it goes uphill again. Plan for June: in the part where it goes downhill to the vehicles there are lots of persistent mosquitoes

Viewings only possible twice a week, Saturdays and Sundays.
