To live in Walls and doors
The building of the walls (about 1700-1800 m long) that surround Pausolino hill and the plain below began on 1st March 1372 during the age of Cansignorio della Scala (1359-1375).
The walls, all crenellated and with chemin de rondes, are interspersed with 24 "torresini" (small towers). The three sturdy gates, Vicentina, Bassanese and Breganzina, which look south, east and west respectively, all have a ravelin (fortification).
There is another door, called Tramontana, that faces north at the end of the eastern walls; it gives access to the road that leads to the actual entrance of the Castello Superiore (Upper Castle). A moat and drawbridges at the gates further strengthened the defensive structure of Marostica, a Dalla Scala outpost on the border with Bassano which at that time had been conquered by the da Carrara family, lords of Padua. According to Marin Sanudo, a Venetian author from the fifteenth century, it took three years to build the walls, which were completed in 1375.
