On the southwestern shore of Lake Garda, a few kilometers north of Desenzano del Garda, lies the small town of Padenghe sul Garda in the fertile Valtenesi region. Over several centuries, numerous castles and fortifications were built in this area, reflecting the fierce power struggle already underway for the wines and olive oils produced in the Valtenesi. The castle ruins, perched on a hill above Padenghe, represent the remains of a fortress built of rubble and fieldstones as early as the 10th century. Originally lacking corner towers, the approximately 70 by 38 meter structure, situated on the gently sloping side of a moraine hill facing Lake Garda, was protected by a ditch. It was probably only in the first half of the 14th century that two square wall towers and two corner towers were added to the curtain wall. The wall on the steeper southeastern side, reaching a height of about 9 meters, remained without towers. After 1330, under the rule of the Scaliger family of Verona, a separate noble castle was built on the northeastern flank, reinforced in the northern section by a round tower 17 meters high and approximately 9 meters in diameter. https://www.gardasee-domizil.de/burg-padenghe-sul-garda.php

beautiful village, located in a bend of the lake, wonderfully kept, with a recent disastrous history from which it is only recently shaking off with the revocation of the honorary citizenship established in 1924.

Here at the small harbor of Porto Dusano you can take a nice walk, relax and watch the ships.

Small town with a great marina.

The view of the Gulf of Salò is beautiful

It's nice to be able to access its interior, I recommend maximum respect because it is inhabited

The interior of the castle is inhabited and “actually” not open to tourists. Very nice location with wonderful panoramic views of the beautiful area.

The Padenghe Castle, well maintained and currently inhabited. To be seen
