One of the most important medieval complexes in the Veneto

Lying on the foothills that stretches from Astico to Brenta, not far from Vicenza and Bassano del Grappa, the city of Marostica is enclosed within the ancient walls of its castles and still retains the magic of past eras.
The characteristic walls start from Colle Pausolino and descend to the historic center, connecting the  Upper Castle to the Lower Castle.  The Carmini path is the panoramic route that follows the walls giving visitors a suggestive panorama. The Doglione deserves a visit, formerly known as Rocca di Mezzo, dating back to medieval times.

The famous  chess game  it is considered the maximum expression of the Marosticense tradition, a magical moment for the town of Vicenza, also known as the City of Chess. It is a medieval re-enactment that relives every two years in the famous Piazza degli Scacchi, in front of the Lower Castle, and which takes its cue from a legend. The game with living pawns takes place on the second Friday, Saturday and Sunday of September in even years and involves more than five hundred figures dressed in period costumes. From Bassano del Grappa it is about 6 km, 10 minutes by car.
