It is claimed that the Longobards built the original fortress on the rock. It was destroyed in 590 and then rebuilt by them. Following the Hungarians’ invasion, it became part of the Verona bishops’ feud and then belonged to the Scaligeri family from 1277 to 1387, from whom it got its present name. Up to 1403 it was in the hands of the Visconti family and from 1405 to 1797 it was part of the Serenissima, with the exception of ten years starting from 1506. The French owned it during Napoleon’s times and the Austrians, who actually carried out some consistent renovation work, from 1798 to 1866. On August 22nd, 1902 the castle was declared a national monument. Today the castle is a museum where the visitor can find examples of Monte Baldo’s natural treasures along with exhibitions mainly dedicated to Lake Garda, but also by painters and sculptors from Verona. Next to the castle a big tent was set up to host various shows that range from opera to blues music, along with theatre plays.
