        One of the three things is to admire the Venetian city walls. They are part of the Venetian defensive bulwarks of the 16th century. and XVII. Century and are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
        Thanks to its strategic location, Peschiera del Garda has been characterized by many dominions. Today you can see traces of their history, like in a real “open-air museum”.
        A Bronze Age pile-dwelling site, it was built in the first century BC. A Roman fortress called “Arilica” in the 1st century BC. The approximately 10,000 inhabitants of Peschiera are still called “Arilicensi” today.
        In the XIII. In the 19th century it became the seat of the castle and the Scaligero fortress. Under the rule of the Republic of Serenissima it had taken on the appearance of a brick fortification in the shape of a pentagon, as it still appears today. Thanks to this feature, it became famous around the world as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
        The fortress was built from the 14th century under the rule of the Scaligeri and enclosed the medieval castle, built at the time on Roman foundations.
        Later, under the rule of the Republic of Venice, it was modified and strengthened with the addition of five bastions at the corners of the fortification.
        Bastione Feltrin, Bastione Tognon, Bastione Querini, Bastione San Marco and Bastione Cantarane.
