Peschiera del Garda: the fortress-city on the lake that tells the story of Italy

Peschiera del Garda, the history of the fortress city

The origins of Peschiera date back to the Bronze Age (1100-1500 BC), when its strategic position favored the first settlements. The Belvedere and Frassino stilt houses are now World Heritage Sites. Under the Romans, the city became a well-known fishing center, so much so that it was mentioned by Pliny the Elder.

Between the Middle Ages and the modern age, Peschiera was at the center of important dominations: from the Scaligeri to the Visconti, to the Sforza family and the Republic of Venice, which began the construction of the majestic Fortress. Under Austrian rule, it became a defensive pillar of Quadrilateral together with Mantua, Verona and Legnago.
