The picturesque appearance of the city looking onto Garda, -with the small
port flanked by pointed arch porticoes, the Casa del Dazio (House
of Dazio) and the narrow alleys of the historical centre- attracted
numerous painters and poets of the romantic German world including Goethe.
But Torbole was also witness of an extraordinary historical event during the
Third Lombard War when Milan and the Republic of Venice opposed each
other. The Venetians transported a fleet of 25 barges and 6 galleys across
Lake Loppio to Garda in order to back the Venetian leader Gattamelata
during the liberation of Brescia, which was besieged by the Milanese army.
They managed to defeat the viscounts and take Riva. The view enjoyed from
the medieval church of Sant'Andrea is a must-see. From this natural
terrace it is possible to see almost to the end of the lake on clear days.
