Torri del Benaco

Torri del Benaco

The first thing that struck us when we arrived at Torri del Benaco was the great stone wall by the car park. It was part of the castle. We soon found our way around & found ourselves on the waterfront.

Torri is just a village & yet it seems full of life without being overcrowded. Some bars were clearly haunts for the locals as animated Italian issued from them. People warmly welcoming one another as they passed by.

We visited the Holy Trinity Church. The first day we went to Torri, a Sunday, a new priest was being welcomed, with children playing music & singing outside.  We did not go in that day. We visited again later in the holiday & enjoyed our look around the church.

You can tell how much we enjoyed Torri from the fact that we went a third time, only this was primarily to catch the car ferry across Lake Garda to Salo on the western shore. Each time we found new things to see & enjoy. We were never disappointed.
