Peschiera del Garda Fortress Site Features

The walls

Walkable in long stretches, with the ditches full of river water below and the bastions projecting at each corner.

Porta Verona and Porta Brescia

The Venetian gates, still carrying the winged lion and still the ways into the town.

The canals

The Mincio runs through the fortress, so the town centre is divided by water and crossed by bridges -- unusual for a fortress, and pleasant.

The view from the water

The pentagon only really reads from a boat. The ferry departure gives it for the price of a ticket.
