Soave is important for the vineyards but it is also an architectural jewel of roman origin. The name Soave derives from Swabians who rebuit the town,lately fortified by Scaligeri.
On the top of Soave's hills the Scaligero Castle dominates the landscape, it is set in the greenness of the vineyards, it consists of a central bastion, where around it, it was built a triple boundary walls, which holds three courtyards. In the past, in the first courtyard there was a church, while in the second one there was the stable. The highest part of the castle is dominated by the bastion, which dates back to the Roman period, and it was the residence of the rulers.
