Costabissara
Strategically poised between the city and the hills, Costabissara embraces the great outdoors with an inviting network of scenic trails. The area boasts ancient roots dating back to the Paleo-Venetian civilization and preserves remarkable historic landmarks, such as the early Christian chapel of San Zeno and the Church of San Giorgio, an ancient Longobard stronghold. Bearing witness to its prosperous past is the centuries-old castle tower, once owned by the noble Bissari and De Buzzaccarini families. Formerly a bishop’s fiefdom and later an independent Vicarage under the Venetian Republic, the village maintained strong autonomy until the Napoleonic era. Costabissara seamlessly pairs the allure of ancient architecture with close proximity to the provincial capital, offering a flawless blend of history and hillside beauty.
