Sito palafitticolo del Frassino, Bronze Age archaeological site in Peschiera del Garda, Italy.
The site contains submerged wooden structures and remnants of prehistoric pile dwellings constructed on stilts along the shores of Lake Garda.
Archaeological excavations in 2014 revealed settlements extending beyond the water onto dry land, expanding knowledge about the Bronze Age inhabitants of northern Italy.
The discovered artifacts, including tools and pottery fragments, demonstrate the technical skills and daily activities of prehistoric communities living near water bodies.
Visitors can participate in guided tours of the site, which includes informational panels explaining the construction methods and lifestyle of ancient lake dwellers.
The settlement forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage designation connecting multiple pile dwelling sites across the Alpine regions of Europe.
