June 22, Arco

Arco lies just north of Lake Garda in the lower Dolomites on the road from Trento to Riva Del Garda . The early records of the Castle Arco which stands guard over the Sarca River plain are sketchy, with the first construction going back to the 10th Century. The present castle became the residence of the familia d'Arco in the 12th Century and the fortifications extended and reinforced through the turbulent and bellicose struggles of this contested region throughout the middle ages until the1400’s when the feudal lords of the castle decided to move to more comfortable lodgings in the medieval town below.

To get to Arco from Riva, take bus route #2 for a 30 minutes ride, cost 0.90 Euro/person.
