    Passed the Bastione, the tower with view over Riva del Garda, the tour enters an unpolluted and little attended area of the city. The little Church of Santa Maria Maddalena is a jewel wrapped by the luxuriant vegetation. The path continues through a holm oak wood until foci San Giacomo, where Torrent Albola descend from the mountains above to end in Lake Garda.

    Author’s recommendation

    The origin of the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena dates back to the IV century. Beside the church there are the ruins of an arcade and a retreat.
