Peschiera del Garda
Small town along the Minico river
Peschiera del Garda is situated right on the river Minico, the only outlet of Lake Garda. The small town’s particular location explains why it acquired strategic importance early on. Upgraded and heavily armed, the city defended the estuary under their respective rulers. Napoleon surrounded Peschiera with a massive city wall, which was again reinforced by the Austrians. No wonder that Peschiera del Garda today looks like an impregnable fortress. However, the bulwark no longer has the deterrent effect that it once had. The already partially decayed plant-covered walls have almost a touch of romance. It is worth taking a stroll through the lively and beautiful city.
