History
Starting from the 1st century BCE, the area of the Garda, including what is now Desenzano del Garda, became a favourite resort for rich families coming from Verona, then the main Roman city in north-eastern Italy.
Main Sights
The Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene. The House of St. Angela Merici. The Tower of St. Martin (Torre di San Martino). An archaelogical museum (Museo Civico Archeologico). Several old-style villas (Villa Romana) and a castle (Duomo).
Tourism
The city is a popular holiday destination in Southern Europe. It attracts a myriad of tourists from around the immediate area due to its beautiful view of the Alps on the northern shore of Lake Garda, its three large beaches (Desanzanino Beach, Spiagga D'oro Beach, and Porto Rivoltella Beach) and its 27 major hotels.
At the heart of the city is a series of interconnected piazze that house numerous open-air cafés, various shops, "gelaterie" (ice-cream parlors) and several bars.
