Sito palafitticolo Belvedere

The underwater archaeological site extends across 22,000 square meters and contains approximately 1,200 vertical wooden posts emerging from the lake bottom.

Archaeological investigations have identified two occupation periods between the 21st and 17th centuries BC, spanning from Early to Middle Bronze Age.

The discovered artifacts, including mugs and bowls, provide evidence of domestic activities and agricultural practices of prehistoric lake dwellers.

The site location, 250 meters from the southern shore of Lake Garda, requires specialized underwater archaeological techniques for research and documentation.

Scientists collected carbonized remains of emmer wheat from the site, demonstrating advanced farming methods used by prehistoric Alpine communities.
