In a splendid position on a cliff overlooking the lake, the Santuario Di Monte Castello (Madonna della Stella Shrine) stands on the remains of an old temple turned castle. Inside, it preserves “Casa Santa”, a small temple estimated to have been built in 800 A.D. The interior boasts Giotto-style frescoes. The spectacular view over Lake Garda ranges from Mount Baldo to the Sirmione peninsula.
