Bishops' Castle

Highlight • Castle

The medieval castle of Brendola dominated the plain and the passage between the present-day provinces of Vicenza and Verona, which for centuries was a contested border between various states and factions. Precisely because of its important strategic position, it featured an imposing, complex, and fortified architecture. It is also known as the "Bishops' Fortress," having served as the bishop's jurisdiction and refuge for centuries.

Built at least as early as the year 1000, over the centuries it was the scene of battles and sieges, reflecting the vicissitudes of history and changes of power. In 1513, it was occupied by the Spanish and in 1514 reconquered by the Venetian Republic, which ordered its destruction to prevent the castle from "further serving as a potential refuge for Spaniards, Germans, or other enemies of the Republic."

Of the fortress, only the keep (under renovation) and fragments of the walls that once surrounded the entire hill and the old town remain.

Salve Regina Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Salve Regina church is immersed in the greenery of the town of Valmarana, on the border between the municipalities of Altavilla Vicentina and Arcugnano. Built in 1900 and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Sorrows, it is a peaceful place reachable via a forest path much loved by hikers and cyclists. On May 8, 1904, the first Holy Mass was celebrated here, and shortly after, Pope Pius X granted special indulgences for pilgrims who go there to pray on dedicated occasions. Now, however, the church needs restoration work to preserve its structure and spiritual value; a fundraiser is underway to save it.

View of the Vineyards of Altavilla Vicentina

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point on Via Salve Regina, among the reliefs of Altavilla Vicentina, you have a splendid view of the surrounding hills. At about 180 meters above sea level, you can see vineyards, woods and green meadows as far as the eye can see.
