MAROSTICA
Every even year in September, in the chess square, the fight between Rinaldo d’Angarano e Vieri da Vallonara for Lionora, daughter of the Castellan of Marostica, is staged.
CITTADELLA
The walls were quite well preserved, but the Community some years ago started a restoring project and nowadays it’s possible to walk upon the walls, all around the town. This is one of the few examples still remaining in Europe. At the foot of the walls there are bars surrounded by pleasant garden, nice place where you can have a rest and drink something.
