"Is Malcesine
Italy's most beautiful Village?"

I don't know if it is Malcesine Italy's nicest Village. For sure it is one of the best spots on the Lake. It is my Home Town, so I can't judge with impartiality: when you visit Lake Garda, see for yourself and I'm sure
You will be impressed.

Remnants of an Etruscan tomb have been found within the castle walls, and there is historical recorded information of fixed and organised settlements of population, since 500 B.C.

Malcesine castle view from Lake Garda


The castle (Castello Scaligero) was first built around 500 A.C. by the Lombards. It was later destroyed (590 A.C.) and rebuilt by the Franks.
It was modernised and reinforced by the "Della Scala" family who ruled Malcesine from 1277 until 1387.

One of the first international "tourists" in 1786, was J.W.Goethe, during his "Journey to Italy"(1786-1788). Here, he was arrested and then released on suspicion of being a spy, after he was caught drawing sketches of the castle.
