Peschiera del Garda

Peschiera del Garda sits at the southern shore of Lake Garda in Veneto, where the Mincio River begins its southward course. Water remains central to the town’s form: canals and broad defensive ramparts enclose its compact historic centre, while the lakefront connects it to the wider Garda shoreline. Peschiera’s fortress is part of the UNESCO-listed Venetian Works of Defence, a transnational system of military architecture developed between the 16th and 17th centuries. Its fortified layout reflects the strategic importance Venice attached to this outlet from Italy’s largest lake.
