Palazzo dei Capitani, Medieval palace in Malcesine, Italy.

The Palazzo dei Capitani stands near the port of Malcesine, featuring gothic and venetian architectural elements with stone walls and renaissance decorations.

The Scaliger family constructed the palace between 1200 and 1300 over Roman ruins, and in 1618 Verona purchased it as residence for the Lake Captain.

The ground floor hall displays frescoes depicting emblems of Gardesana dell'Acqua, the coat of arms of Verona, and Captain Lodovico Giusti's insignia.

The ground floor and garden remain open daily from 9:30 to 18:00, while the first floor opens exclusively during concerts, conferences, and wedding ceremonies.

The palace garden contains the former docking point for the ganzarina, the Captain's boat, offering direct access to Lake Garda.
