Description

The Scaliger castle of Soave, formerly belonging to the house of the Della Scala, is a fortification that has marked the history of the small town in the province of Verona.

Having fallen into a state of abandonment after being reduced to a farm, it was restored in 1890 by the Senator of the Kingdom Giulio Camuzzoni - mayor of Verona from 1867 to 1883 - who became its owner.

It can be reached on foot from Piazza Antenna or by following the asphalt road that climbs to the north of the town.
