At the time I passed by, there was an urban jungle exhibition and was impressive!

Red lights. Roundabouts. And wind in your face

The Castle is a typical military artifact of the Middle Ages and represents one of the best examples of a castle structure in the Veneto. The origins of this monumental fortified work probably date back to the beginning of the 10th century, at the time of the Hungarian invasions, on the initiative of Berengario I, King of Italy. As shown by a diploma of Frederick Barbarossa, the first feudal lords were the Sambonifacio family who held the Castle until the beginning of the 13th century. In 1226 the fortress passed into the hands of Ezzelino da Romano, to become, in 1237, the property of the feudal Greppi family...... The current owner continues with inexhaustible passion the work of her beloved great-grandfather, grandfather and father, lovingly taking care of the Castle in order to preserve its superb and unaltered beauty.

Super beautiful city, a must visit and not as crowded as Verona or Vicenza.

Incredibly high fortress wall that stretches up into the mountain.

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
