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

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.

Desenzano del Garda is a worthwhile destination on a tour. Quiet, beautiful town with a great promenade and some other sights.

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