Guide of Desenzano del Garda, Italy

Desenzano Del Garda, Italy

Desenzano was an important lake port in Roman times. Its center opens on to the large with a charming little port and rich palazzi overlook the large piazzas and pedestrian-only streets.

The village has a strong Venetian imprint: in fact, the "Serenissima" took possession of Desenzano in the 15th century, making it an important commercial center. A maze of narrow lanes rise towards the medieval castello , constructed in the 10th century to protect against barbarian incursions.

The road rises towards Salò through a lovely hill area called Valteniesi. In Moniga, we recommend a brief visit to the Castle, on the best preserved on the southern shore of Lake Garda.
