Dear guests,
during your stay in Torri del Benaco, do not forget to visit the Scaliger Castle.
The Scaliger Castle that overlooks the harbor, is one of the symbol of Torri del Benaco and contributes to make the village still more picturesque.
The Castle, that dates back to 1383, hosts in the inside a museum dedicated to the ancient jobs and activities that were once practiced around Lake Garda. You will find a room dedicated to the cultivation of olives, that was the main economic activity of the area, and also a space that illustrates equipment and techniques used for fishing on the Lake.
Walking inside the building you could admire the nice lemon grove, that is still in use, and also climb up to the top of the towers. A steep climb, but it is worth it: the view from up there is wonderful and dominates not only the village of Torri but also most of the lake, from Sirmione to Limone.
The Castle of Torri, with his majesty and ancient atmosphere fascinates its visitors, and since some years it has become a popular location for wedding ceremonies: a lot of couple coming from all over the world choses the highest tower or the lemon grove as location to fulfill their love dream. And who can blame them? 😉
