Medieval walled city of Soave Italy

Soave

One of the few medieval walled cities still entirely surrounded by its walls, Soave has entrances through only three towers: Porta Verona, Porta Aquila and Porta Vicentina. Soave was populated during the Roman era, proven by the discovery of various Roman coins all around the area.

Most of the important buildings in Soave date from the Middle Ages and beyond, like the Scaligero castle, which looms above the city on a steep hill. Undoubtedly built on the site of a Roman fortress, the castle also served as a defensive structure.

Soave is also known for its fine wine of the same name and quiet atmosphere. Only a half hour from Vicenza and 5 minutes from the Roman Terme di Giunone, Soave is a great place for taking photos and a nice stop on the way to Verona.
