Soave Castle
Castello di Montorio rises above Verona on the hill of Montorio Veronese, a strategic site whose origins trace back to Roman military foundations. The first documented mention dates to 995, when Emperor Otto III donated the fortress to the Archbishop of VeronaVisit Verona. The medieval structure took shape between the 10th and early 12th centuries, later strengthened by the Scaligeri, who added the fortified bastia to reinforce its defensive power. Over the centuries the castle was abandoned, altered and partially dismantled, yet its imposing walls, towers and terraces still dominate the landscape. Today visitors can explore the atmospheric ruins, which offer sweeping views over the surrounding plains and preserve the layered history of Verona’s defensive system. Castello di Montorio remains a compelling blend of archaeology, legend and rugged beauty, making it one of the city’s most evocative historic sites.
