After doubling at Punta Mirabello, you land in Bardolino. A business center and tourist resort, it is renowned for its esteemed namesake wine. It has been a prehistoric site, a Roman village and during the Middle Ages, a Scaligero protectorate. From this era two gates and an ancient crenellated tower of the old Lakeshore castle remain. There are two important monuments: the 9th century Church of San Zeno, which is among the most prominent Italian edifices from the Carolingian Era; and the 10th century Church of San Severo, restored in Romanesque style in the 12th century, that houses 13th and 14th century frescoes. On the vast inlet of Bardolino face the parks of the villa Giuliani-Sanfilippi and the villa of Bottagisio, both from the last century.
