Garda - a tiny tourist town in the province of Verona, which lies on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, 32 km from the city of Verona. It is the smallest town of the province and most, if I may say so, medieval. The findings made in the mid-20th century, suggest that this area was inhabited by humans since prehistoric times. On Cape San Vigilio we had traces of Roman settlements. In the 10th century King Berengar II held the power of the Queen Adelaide in Garda, and in 1162 took refuge here all year, Bishop of Verona. At the end of the 12th century, the city fell to the Scaligeri family, then became a fiefdom of the family Visconti, and later - became part of the Venetian Republic.
