Solferino

Overview

Situated in a panoramic position towards the plains and Lake Garda, Solferino has a landscape characterised by soft reliefs rich in vines, wheat and barley, which can also be discovered thanks to the cycle-tourism routes present. The town is strongly linked to the memory of the battle of 24 June 1859, one of the most decisive episodes of the Italian Risorgimento, between the Piedmontese and French armies, on the one hand, and the Austrian army, on the other. It is worth visiting the Rocca (fortress), built in 1022 on top of the highest hill of Solferino and known as the 'Spy of Italy' thanks to its strategic position. Walking along the wooden ramp you reach a panoramic terrace from which you can enjoy a marvellous view of the lush countryside below and see in the distance the Tower of San Martino, the suggestive Lake Garda and the foothills of the Apennines.
