Marostica — Castello Inferiore e Superiore Walk
Veneto
Marostica's lower castle, with its checkerboard piazza where a human chess match is re-enacted every two years, is linked to an upper castle on the hill above by a covered walkway along the town walls. The climb is steady but short, with views back over the piazza's giant chessboard.
