PIEVE DI SANTA MARIA IN VALTENESI: built around 1050 in the locality of Pieve Vecchia, it stands on the ruins of a much older church. The parish church of Santa Maria in Valtenesi is the oldest Romanesque monument in the area. It has three naves divided by majestic round arches resting on rectangular pillars. Worthy of all honor is the 16th-century altarpiece on the high altar created by Gian Andrea Bertanza of Padenghe, on which the Virgin and Saints Rocco, Sebastian, Siro, and Savino are depicted. Unfortunately, this majestic work fell victim to theft and the destruction of its components; the pieces found were collected in some paintings. PARISH CHURCH: In 1722 it was transferred from the Pieve to Solarolo, the design belongs to architect Antonio Spazzi and its construction took place starting in 1746. Inside, in addition to the precious frescoes in the vault and the characteristic choir made entirely of wood, there are paintings by Andrea Celesti: “Saint Angela Merici” and “Assumption.” ROCCA NATURAL PARK: The Rocca-Sasso Archaeological Nature Park corresponds to an area of about 900,000 square meters that includes the area of the Rocca and the underlying coastal strip between the localities of Dusano and Pisenze. The development of the whole area, thanks to archaeological investigations and the conservative restoration of the medieval structures of the Rocca, has allowed the definition of an equipped tourist route of high archaeological and landscape interest. Not to be missed are the remains of an ancient castle that in 1573 was destroyed by order of the Venetian Provveditore, as it had become the headquarters of bandits and now serves as a bell tower. CIVIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF VALTENESI: In its exhibition site within the Archaeological Nature Park, it also constitutes the reception and first information center for visitors to the established Nature Reserve of the Rocca, Sasso with adjoining Manerba del Garda Lake Park. The Museum has two distinct thematic routes, one natural and one archaeological, the latter with bilingual thematic panels through a selection of exhibits inside showcases, illustrating the settlements of the multi-layered site of the Rocca and Sasso and that of the Pieve di S. Maria, where, on the remains of a Roman villa overlooking the Lake, first early medieval housing structures and then the religious building arose. GARDA ISLAND: Garda Island, originally a Longobard Monastery connected to Brescia, of Queen Ansa also known as Schwaben , also known as Swabian Island of Frederick called Barbarossa, later Borghese or Island of the Friars, is the largest island on the lake of the same name. Today it owes its charm to the extraordinary Venetian neo-Gothic style villa, designed by architect Luigi Rovelli in the early 1900s; an imposing harmonious construction, full of striking architectural details. The island is surrounded by wonderful Italian gardens and a rich forest composed of cypresses, acacias and pines. The
luxurious palace belongs to the Cavazza family, which, since 2002, has opened it to the public and organizes guided tours from April to October. There is no public service to get there, but from the ports of the most tourist resorts on Lake Garda there is a private service of motorboats and small boats whose drivers have direct arrangements for guided tours.

Here you will feel on your skin the heavenly atmosphere of this small island. SAN BIAGIO ISLAND: Just over 200 meters from the mainland, it belongs to the municipal territory of Manerba del Garda and is located south of Garda Island . Also nicknamed “Rabbit Island” for the strong presence in the 1500s of hares and rabbits: a small treasure chest of Italy characterized by green meadows, cypresses and flowering bushes. Interestingly, during major dry periods, this strip of land can be reached on foot, an experience worth trying. Bicycle Route in Manerba:
