Desenzano del Garda

The largest town on Lake Garda and most important business and commercial centre, Desenzano stretches around a wide bay for around 2 miles, with an attractive tree-lined promenade on the lake edge.

Founded by the Romans the remains of a 2nd-century Roman villa bear are still available to visit whilst in 15th to 18th centuries the town benefited from prosperous Venetian rule. This influence can still be seen today around the picturesque Venetian-style old port (Porto Vecchio), full of fishing craft and leisure boats.

The upper part of the centre is dominated by a 14th-century castle while most of the shops and cafes are situated in the two extensive arcaded 19th century piazzas. The atmosphere is more like that of a prosperous market town than a holiday resort with fountains and statues of local heroes and a bustling weekly market.

Many of the narrow streets have been closed to traffic and it is a vibrant town with an excellent blend of tourism and real Italian life.
