Marostica
World-renowned as the “Chess City,” Marostica is enveloped by majestic medieval walls that cascade down the Pausolino Hill, seamlessly connecting the Upper and Lower Castles along the panoramic Carmini pathway. The heart of this medieval town is also home to the Doglione, an ancient central fortress.
Every even year, the stunning main square transforms into a living chessboard, where human pieces in lavish period costumes reenact a legendary 1454 duel of love. Beyond its chess fame, the surrounding hillsides are celebrated for their dazzling spring blossoms and the sweet harvest of the prized, locally grown Marostica Cherry IGP.
