General Description of Desenzano del Garda

The most important commercial centre and largest town on the lake, Desenzano stretches around a wide bay for around 2 miles, with an attractive, tree-lined promenade lining the lake front for much of that distance.

The town was founded by the Romans and the remains of a 2nd-century Roman villa bear witness to its antiquity. In the 15th to 18th centuries, the town benefited from prosperous Venetian rule, the influence of which can still be seen today around the picturesque Venetian-style old port (Porto Vecchio), full of fishing craft.

The upper part of the centre is dominated by a 14th-century castle while most of the shops and cafes are situated in 2 extensive arcaded 19th-century piazzas. The general atmosphere is more like that of a prosperous market town than a holiday resort, with fountains and statues of local heroes dotted around, swans and ducks on the lake, and a bustling weekly market day.

Many of the narrow residential streets have been closed to traffic and it suffers less intrusion by day-trippers than most lake resorts.
