Castel Penede

The ruins of Castel Penede crown the monumental cliff, which in a bow-like manner juts out towards Lake Garda above Torbole. Home to a prehistoric castellar, perhaps fortified by the Romans, the castle was first named in 1210. Feud of the Counts of Arco, it is contested by the opposing factions in the wars unleashed between Guelphs and Ghibellines. In the 13th century it fell into the hands of the Castelbarco family and then returned to the d 'Arco family. In 1438 he was captured by the Venetian troops of Erasmus of Narni, known as Gattamelata. Taken by the Imperials of Maximilian I of Austria, in 1509 it was returned to the d 'Arco as a Tyrolean fief. In 1701 it was occupied by the troops of Eugene of Savoy led by General Guttenstein. Two years later it was looted and set on fire by the Franco-Spanish Duke of Vendôme. The rocky spur of the castle was fortified by the Austrians (1914) and equipped with artillery (pieces of 80 and 100) in connection with the forts of Nago.

It is an exceptional viewpoint, an authentic "speculum on Lake Garda". In the woods below you can see the remains of a huge lime wall (probably a Roman tower) with part of a staircase in red live stone. Through the cleaning of this structure, clay tiles, Roman coins and ceramics have been found, testifying to the Roman presence.
