A few steps from our apartment in Soave, Castleview you can visit the ancient and imposing Scaligero Castle of Soave.
Its history dates back to around the tenth century AD, facing all the centuries up to the present day with delicate restorations; numerous battles were fought to conquer the Castle, notable thanks to its position and majesty.
The first feudal lords were the Sambonifacio who held the Castle until the beginning of the thirteenth century, making a leap forward thanks to its strategic position, it became important under the domination of the Scaligeri: between 1370 and 1375 it was restored and strengthened with the construction of the large city wall.
