A tiny statue of Madonna with little Jesus appeared in the early 1500s among the branches of an ash tree, according to popular belief it was invoked by a shepherd who had just been bitten by a snake that did not die. In 1510 a first small church was created on the site of the discovery , then during many years and many miracles the church was enlarged. In 1518 was built a friars convent beside the church who it’s still active. Facade with frescoed portico , above the portico a beautiful rose window completed a very simple facade .

10. Peschiera del Garda- UNESCO Venetian Fortress
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 270 reviews
At the time of Pliny, during the Roman Empire, Peschiera was called Arilica and had already a considerable importance. Later, in the next centuries, it was fortified by the Scaligeri, by Venice, Austria and Italy. The walls were designed by famous architects: a good part of it is the work of Sanmicheli. Today you can find shops, bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours inside the pentagon shaped fortress where the city centre is located. Along the lakeside there are many facilities for water sports like; sailing, motor boat rentals, sup and more. Peschiera del Garda has around forty cozy hotels and a dozen of the biggest and best equipped campsites of the lake. In the surrounding area there are both natural parks as amusement parks among the best known in Europe. Thanks to the lake we have a fertile countryside and a very fine wine area, which in the past attracted kings, merchants and cardinals, our first ‘tourists’!

We are here to provide so well needed rest and relaxation during mini tour via train visiting Venice and Verona. Peschiera is very easy to get to (on the main train route between Milan and Venice). Ancient part of the town is very pretty with lots of history. If staying in the height of summer I would recommend rising early and doing the self guided tour (using map/info available online) before breakfast (very leisurely 2 hours needed). The streets are almost deserted apart for locals getting ready for their day, determined cyclists and the odd runner. Plus the early light gives some great photo opportunities. You can also do the tour with audio equipment from the tourist information office (but this is not open that early of course). Would echo the other reviews that there are plenty of good bars, restaurants etc available and very easy to take the ferry or bus to visit other towns on the lake. What not to love?
