Castello Scaligero di Torri del Benaco

What great little castle, you get access to the top of the tower for great views on the town. Loads of information about the history of the town and the lake is available here.

Beautiful castle, great view. But I have to admit, the museum inside the castle was not for me.

Great castle to visit, climb to the top of the tower for a magnificent veiw over the hillside and the lake. Lots of fishing history captured in the displays.

Thrilling ascend to the top of the tower. Nice views of the lake and surrounding area.

Great views from the castle ramparts down the lake and over the town. Some interesting displays in the museum rooms. Torri is a lovely place and the castle is well worth a visit.

Wonderful stories about the work done on those old ages. Incredible views and very well kept. Enjoyed every minute.

Castell Scaligero is a place you can visit but you don't really 'have to'. It's good for a nice view and to learn something about local fishing traditions and the previous owners. If you take the ferry from Maderno to Torri you can go and see the castle at the same time, since it is located in Torri.

Castello Scaligero, in which is an ethnographical museum which shows exhibitions about freshwater fishing, the history of the place itself, and information about Olive trees. There are two areas inside that castle which were truly stunning, though: one of them being the Limonaia, a lemon garden which dates back to 1760. It’s truly impressive to see all these trees among the old walls. The other was the view from the tower and the walls. It’s a rather steep climb, and you have to really mind your head once, but the view from the top is definitely worth it. Sadly we had a lot of fog that day, but I can imagine that the view must be truly stunning with clear skies.
