Villa Romana ancient monuments on Lake Garda Toscolano

Monumets

S. Giovanni Church

The Romanesque style church with a plain facade and beautiful sculpted portal dates back to the 12th century. Inside there are some interesting shrines and stone sculptures from the Lombard period and a crypt with Roman tombstones.

 

 
 

The Sanctuary of the Madonna of Benaco

Built in the 11th century presumably upon the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Jupiter, the sanctuary is considered one of the oldest places of Christian worship in the Garda area. For years it was the burial site of distinguished town citizens, usually people who worked in the paper industry.

 

 

The Roman Villa

This large villa was supposedly built by Publius Nonius Asprenate in 38 A.D. Many finds and tombstones have been unearthed, but excavations have been limited. Only a few polychromatic mosaics and fragments of some frescoes are visible today.
