Loreto Island, Private island in Lake Iseo, Italy

The island holds a neo-Gothic castle with two lighthouse turrets, situated on a rocky elevation that rises directly from Lake Iseo's waters.

During the fifteenth century, the Sisters of Santa Chiara from Brescia established a convent on this island, marking a period of religious presence.

The castle, constructed in 1910 by Vincenzo Richieri, represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Italian families during the early twentieth century.

Access to the island requires boat transportation from Monte Isola, with visits limited to special events and organized jazz concerts.

Archaeological findings from 1238 include Roman coins, indicating the island served as a stopping point for fishermen and traders in ancient times.
