デゼンツァーノデルガルダの湖・トップ20

Great old cutter in the port of Desenzano.

Here in the "Porto Vecchio" harbor of Desenzano del Garda, near the small bridge, lies a beautiful old cutter/ship. A wonderful sight, a great photo opportunity...

Beautiful little harbor that invites you to linger and stroll. There are many small shops and places to eat here.

Very nice little harbor with some romantic photo opportunities.

The military harbor of Peschiera had to be deepened by over 2 m in 1861 to accommodate a newly built gunboat for the Garda flotilla. When digging with a so-called paternoster excavator north of the Querini Bastion, numerous bronze objects were unearthed. These were kept by the Austrian first lieutenant Heinrich von Silber and the naval engineer Lorentz. Von Silber suspected that a ship with the items on board had once sunk here. Numerous tree trunks that were rammed into the lake bottom made the work more difficult, so it was thought that there was a fishing hut here, which is often found on Lake Garda, which is why the pottery shards that were found were disposed of. However, after von Silber contacted the archaeologist Johannes Freudenberg from Bonn, the realization emerged that there had once been a pile-dwelling settlement here.

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.
