Castelnuovo del Garda
Castelnuovo del Garda
Castelnuovo del Garda, emotive centre of Lake Garda
Castelnuovo del Garda, from the Latin “Castrum Novum”, extends across the morainic hills of Garda, overlooking the lake, with three lidos fitted for bathing and lake holidays: Campanello, Gasparina and Ronchi. The latter is home to Gardaland, Italy’s largest theme park, alongside Gardaland Hotel and Sealife Aquarium.
What to do in Castelnuovo
The touristic appeal of Castelnuovo is boosted by a rich body of historical proof that range from Roman remains, to parish churches, the castle tower and the villas of the Republic of Venice. The neoclassical churches, the forts from the times of the Austrian domination and the numerous monuments consolidate two thousand years of history in a single and fascinating territory.
