Soardo-Bembo Palace

We visited the fairytale town of Bale-Valle again. Nice sunny day and where are we going? we decided, we go to Bale-Valle again to enjoy a walk through the old town, observing the stone houses and wandering the narrow streets within the fortified walls and find the Castle Soardo - Bembo. The beautiful Castle stands out with the beauty of its Gothic-Renaissance façade. It was built in the 16th century between two towers, and first belonged to the Soardo family, but in 1618 ( (The Soardo family was left without male heirs), with the marriage of Veronica Soardo to Alvise Bemba, the Palace became the property of the Bembo family. Pietro Bembo, Alvise’s brother, takes ownership of part of the estate after their death as the sole heir. In 1750, Tomaso, the first of the Bembo family, became the owner of a noble castle with a fixed residence in Bale.

Great little town that can be explored in an hour. Extremely cute, highly recommend to spend some time here if you are travelling between Pula and Rovinj.

Bale is beautiful small town.

Nice place with tons of history to tell. On the front of the building you can admire the lion of San Marco, reminding of the Venice Era and the little Arch wich lead to the narrow ways of the city of Bale. A beautiful terrace and wide widow is located in the center of the structure. It needs to be visited such as the while city.

Beautiful palace, unfortunately nothing to do there. Wish they would find some use for it.
