Castelnuovo del Garda

Tucked among the morainic hills southeast of Lake Garda, Castelnuovo del Garda is a town whose character is shaped by terrain formed by the glaciers that carved the lake basin. Its compact historic centre recalls a frontier landscape long contested between Italian states and the Habsburg Empire. In 1848, during the First Italian War of Independence, the town saw fighting between Piedmontese and Austrian forces, and the old settlement suffered severe damage. The municipality also includes Ronchi, home to Gardaland, the amusement park opened in 1975. Vineyards, farms and low ridges connect the town with the wider Garda hinterland.
