It was built between 1880 and 1893 with on its top a lighthouse that at night emits a tricolor light. For those arriving at the top the show that will be in front is breathtaking, you can see the villages of Sirmione, Desenzano, Peschiera, Lazise, Bardolino and Garda, as well as the whole valley of the Mincio up to Valeggio; on the top of the tower there is also a lighthouse that radiates the colors of the Italian flag. Inside, the first hall, the entrance hall, is dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, while the internal walls that flank the ramp up to the top are decorated with Renaissance frescoes that recall events and protagonists of the period.<\/div>\n<div>The Historical Museum is located near the tower and here are memorabilia of one of the bloodiest battles. A short distance away, in the park surrounding the tower we find the ossuary which preserves 2619 mortal remains of Italian and Austrian soldiers.<\/div>\n<div><a
