10 Monuments & Statues in Lake Garda That You Shouldn't Miss

April 10, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

Torre di San Martino

Qui il 24 giugno 1859 si scontrò l’esercito Piemontese, guidato dal re Vittorio Emanuele II, contro l’ala destra dell’esercito Austriaco, guidata dal generale Von Benedek. Nel Museo, composto da tre ampie sale, sono esposti cimeli, armi e divise relative alla battaglia e al Risorgimento in generale. Dalla terrazza della Torre, che si raggiunge mediante una rampa di oltre 400 mt., è visibile la sponda sud del Lago di Garda. Nelle immediate vicinanze è possibile ammirare le cascine coinvolte nella battaglia, mentre sullo sfondo si staglia il profilo delle Prealpi e del Monte Baldo. All’interno della Torre sono presenti affreschi che rievocano le tappe fondamentali del Risorgimento. All’interno della Cappella Ossario sono custoditi i resti di migliaia di combattenti dell’Armata Sarda e dell’Esercito Austriaco.

Monumento agli Aviatori del Reparto Alta Velocita

Reviewed By markgH2574OC - Tewkesbury, United Kingdom

Despite being in one of the more touristy areas of Italy Desenzano del Garda retains an atmosphere of a real local town, it doesn't seem to have been taken over with gift shops and ice cream parlours like some of the others around. Some great places to eat too. Well worth a visit if you are in the Lake Garda area.
