ROCCA SCALIGERA
Manor house representing one of the rare testimonies of fortifications for the security of a lake port.
A powerful 13th century manor house surrounded by water, it was built by Mastino I of the Della Scala family, lords of Verona. Very well preserved, it represents one of the rare examples of a fortress designed to ensure the security of a lake port. From the top of the crenellated walls, you can see the dock, the former shelter of the Scaligeri fleet. Over the centuries it has become a neuralgic bastion of control for navigation on Lake Garda. A drawbridge gives access to a vaulted portico where Roman and medieval steles are displayed.
