Malcesine, Medieval commune on Lake Garda, Italy
The Castello Scaligero fortress stands on a rock overlooking Lake Garda, featuring white stone walls and 13th-century fortifications.
The Langobards constructed the initial castle structure between the 5th and 6th centuries, which later became the foundation of Castello Scaligero.
The Palazzo dei Capitani, built by the Scala family, served as residence for regional governors and received national monument status in 1902.
A cable car system connects the town to Monte Baldo at 2,218 meters elevation, providing access to mountain hiking trails.
Two major Lake Garda islands, Isola di Sogno and Isola dell'Olivo, belong to the Malcesine municipality territory.
