It is a village very famous for
its Castle and for the country residences.
The Scaligero Castle, of very ancient origin, erected at the beginning of the year 1000; it was razed by Ezzelino Romano and lately the Castle was rebuilt by the Scaligeri dynasty.
It still keeps a tuff bastion, a tower and some remains of the ancient walls. The legend tells that, that was the place, where many passional murders were committed.
Many noble families of XVII century, enchanted by the pleasant landscape of Illasi, built many country residences:
Villa Pompei Sagramoso, a beatiful building, built at the beginning of the seventeenth century, it is composed by a central main body and two wings and by a long stable. Indoors almost all the rooms are rich fresced. The dining room is very nice and the sitting room at the first floor contains some neoclassic decorations.
