LAZISE TO DISCOVER
Lazise, overlooking Lake Garda, is an enchanting village with a rich and fascinating history.
Populated since prehistoric times, its origins date back to the second century BC, when it fell under Roman influence. The name of the town itself derives from the Latin “lacus” (lake), through the intermediate “laceses” (village on the lake). In 983, Emperor Otto II granted autonomy and privileges to Lazise, anticipating the constitution of the first free municipality in Italy. Subsequently, the Scala family rebuilt the 11th century fortifications, transforming Lazise into a well-equipped stronghold 123.
The medieval atmosphere of the historic center, enclosed within the walls, makes Lazise an enchanting village to discover.
