Sunset over Lago di Garda
4 more images

All this shots are different, took in the course of several minutes only. There is the town of Desenzano across the lake and it is the direction in which I aimed my camera. As you can see on the pictures, it is the beginning of the November and the time is soon after 5 PM. Do not miss the sunsets when in Sirmione!

Sunset over Sirmione
2 more images

Sunset is the time of the day which I like the most because no painter can paint the colours made by mother of nature. It is the time of the day when Sirmione and Lago di Garda looks fabulous. You can watch it from the top of the Castle Scaligero or from the lakeshore and both spots offer to you breathtaking scene.

The stone house

The whole place looks very pitoresque, the streets are very clean, the facades of the houses well preserved or fresh coloured, while the windows and the balconies arranged by the flowers. The whole enviroment is attractive and invaiting.

the stone house

When strolling around the old core of the town, take note of the beautiful stone houses located in the area right next to the Casello Scaligero and around the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Most of this houses have been newly reconstructed according to the original plans.
This one on the picture is the most beautiful stone house in the town.

beautiful stone-house inside the peninsula

See this example of the residential house located right opposite to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the very old ground floor with the arch and new addition on the first floor. There are many similiar examples in the old core of the town.
