Isola di Sant’Andrea

An open-air museum for archaeology enthusiasts

Located in the 'Lago di Loppio' Provincial Nature Reserve, about seven kilometres north-east of Lake Garda, the island was the subject of in-depth archaeological investigations, conducted by the PAT Archaeological Section between 1998 and 2017. The excavations have brought to light a multilayered archaeological site, with evidence ranging from prehistory to late antiquity and the Middle Ages, up to the First World War; in particular, they have made it possible to investigate an ancient settlement that occupied, for an area of about 6,400 square metres, the top of the island.
