I have been there several times on holiday, and from my point of view, the highlight of this village is definitely its beautiful Lungolago promenade, where you can admire the beautiful palaces and monuments.

Today it is the seat of the municipality of Salò, but in the 1400s it housed the council of the magnificent patria, a group of municipalities in the Garda area that tried to work together to defend themselves from the barbarian invasions coming from the north.

This church is practically dedicated to Santa Maria Annunziata and is one of the most important churches in Salò was built practically in 1400.
