Porto Vecchio \u2013 The Old Port<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start from the heart of the city, from the point where it meets the lake: the first stop of our visit is the <strong>Porto Vecchio<\/strong>, a small port with ancient origins (it is mentioned as early as <strong>1274<\/strong>), enlarged at the time of the Venetian Republic to support intensive trade, especially in grains. The pier and lighthouse, dating from the 19th century, are in the Nordic style, while the Venetian-style bridge was built in the 1930s. Here you can see the &#8220;stone of the unemployed&#8221;, on which town criers and those convicted of bankruptcy used to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Downtown-in-Desenzano\"><strong>Downtown in Desenzano del Garda: Palazzo Todeschini<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overlooking the charming little harbor,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comune.desenzano.brescia.it\/Il-Comune\/Luoghi\/Palazzo-Todeschini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u> Palazzo Todeschini<\/u><\/a> is a majestic building with fifteen stone arches, the former municipal offices. It is named after the architect <strong>Giulio Todeschini<\/strong>, who designed it in the late 16th century. Today, in its various internal halls (whose names recall the winds that blow across Lake Garda), it hosts conferences, exhibitions, and temporary shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Must-see\"><strong>Must see in Desenzano del Garda: the Duomo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Cathedral of Desenzano<\/strong>, dedicated to <strong>St. Mary Magdalene<\/strong>, is a cathedral with Gothic and late Renaissance features built on the remains of an ancient parish church and also designed by Giulio Todeschini. In its interior, you can admire fine works of art such as <strong>Tiepolo&#8217;s<\/strong> &#8220;The Last Supper&#8221; and <strong>Andrea Celesti&#8217;s<\/strong> large &#8220;Resurrection&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Castle\"><strong>The suggestive Castle of Desenzano: a site you must see<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot visit Desenzano without seeing its <strong>Castle<\/strong>, which dominates the town: today, all that remains of the imposing fortification from the communal period are the walls, the four <strong>towers<\/strong>, and the <strong>entrance keep <\/strong>with the remains of a <strong>drawbridge<\/strong>.
