Touring Malcesine

Malcesine's Scaliger Castle is a reminder of the strategic position of the town and the battles that were fought over who controlled this important fortification.

The building takes its name from the della Scala family, who owned it and made alterations in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; the castle was being used, restored and adapted for military purposes up until the nineteenth century.
