Il territorio
The first free town

Lazise

Intact Scaliger walls, a Venetian harbour with its old customs house, and the first town in Italy to win municipal self-government.

Lazise still has its complete ring of walls, with its Scaliger towers and gates: you enter the town passing beneath an archway, just as people did in the fourteenth century. In 983 it was the first municipality in Italy to be granted the right of autonomy by Emperor Otto II: a small republic on the lake.

The little harbour is a masterpiece: enclosed within the walls, with the Dogana Veneta — the ancient arsenal of the Serenissima, where galleys were built and armed — and the little church of San Nicolò with its Romanesque frescoes.

Beyond the walls lies the morainic countryside with its vineyards; within, alleyways, little squares and the Scaliger castle set in its private park.

What to see

01

The Scaliger walls

An intact ring of walls with towers and gates. You enter the village just as people did seven centuries ago.

02

La Dogana Veneta

The ancient arsenal of the Serenissima overlooking the harbour: today a venue for exhibitions and events.

03

The little harbour

Enclosed between the walls and the customs house, with boats moored beneath the tower. One of the most picturesque on the lake.

Lazise

The Belfiore tip

Go in the evening: once the coaches have left, the illuminated harbour within the walls is something else entirely.

Belfiore Park Hotel
