Palazzo dei Capitani, Medieval palace in Malcesine, Italy.

Palazzo dei Capitani in Malcesine consists of a 13th–14th-century Gothic core and a late 15th-century Venetian-style addition. Its lake-facing facade opens onto a palm garden that once served as the mooring for the Captain's boat, the Ganzarina. Inside, the ground-floor hall has a ceiling painted with the emblems of the Gardesana dell'Acqua, the Verona coat of arms and the crest of Captain Lodovico Giusti.

The Scaliger family built the palace between 1200 and 1300 over roman ruins. In 1618 Verona purchased the building to serve as a residence for the Lake Captain.

The ground floor hall displays frescoes with symbols of the Gardesana dell'Acqua and Verona's coat of arms. These decorations reflect the site's connection to Venetian rule.

The ground floor and garden are accessible daily, while the first floor opens only during special events. Plan your visit around the regular hours and check for concerts or ceremonies happening during your stay.

The garden contains the former docking point for the ganzarina, the Captain's boat, with direct access to Lake Garda. This historic mooring allowed the Lake Captain to reach his vessel quickly.
