This town is a gem and has this typical Italian flair. Very peaceful and quiet and has many eating places around the piazza. Interesting was also the one way entry and exit to the old town as the roads are to small for cars to pass.

The castle, together with the fortress one of the symbols of the Asolan countryside, seems to date back to the 10th century although there is no definite information indicating the origins of the complex In 1242 it was home to Ezzelino da Romano and, from 1339, it became the seat of the podestà of Venice. At the end of the fourteenth century it became one with the city walls, construction that begun during the brief dominion of the Carraresi. Three of the four towers once characterising it still remain: the Civic or Bell tower, the Reata tower acting as a gaol and the Carro tower, nowadays part of the adjacent residence called La Torricella.In 1489 it became the residence of Caterina Cornaro, and Pietro Bembo set his “Gli Asolani” dialogues in this palace and its gardens. After Caterina’s death it was readapted to administrative functions and extensively restored.The French were stationed here in 1797 and, the next year, the great "Pretoria Hall", where Venetian podestà once administe

Built at the summit of Mount Ricco that overlooks the centre of Asolo, the mighty edifice in irregular polygon style of the fortress (average height 15 metres and a width of 2.5 metres for the north and west sides and 3.5 metres for the other sides) dates back to a period spanning the middle-end of twelfth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century.From the buttresses of the fortress that underwent massive work to restore them in the 1980’s and 90’s it is today possible to enjoy a bird’s eye view and a 360° view of the horizon from the Po plain to the entire arc of the surrounding mountains. On clear days and with good light one can clearly make out the lagoon of Venice.ticket: 2€ (free under 6 years old)Opening time: saturday, sunday, public holiday10-17 november to march10-19 april to june10-12 / 15-19 july and august

We travelled by bus from Treviso to Asolo by Bus 113 from the bus station, a journey of around 45 minutes. The stage where to stop is at Ca Vescovo, and then wait for a navette to take you up the hill to the town. Don't try to walk it from here as there is plenty of walking to do when you arrive !! This pretty place is called 'the town of hundred horizons ' with magnificent scenery wherever you look, It is a serene romantic hamlet where lots of poets got their inspiration. A lovely walk and a hefty climb up so many stairs takes you to the Rocca - Surprise - you cannot go in. But there is a long story about this when you go backdown to the main square with another castle and get the info from the tourist centre in the square
