Valeggio sul Mincio, as the toponym says, spreads out along the Mincio river that is the effluent of the lake of Garda. Going for a walk you could visit Castello Scaligero, Palazzo Guarienti and St Pietro Church.

Near Valeggio you arrive at Borghetto, a beautiful village surrounded by green hills, where you can visit St Marco Church and the suggestive ruins of the bridge that is called by the inhabitants Pontelongo. It is an example of extraordinary military architecture, wanted by Gian Galeazzo Visconti and built by Domenico Fiorentino, architect and plumber.

An other interesting thing to visit in Valeggio, is Villa Maffei della Quercia, now Sigurtà. It is a neoclassical palace, built by Vincenzo Pellesina at the end of 1600. Many artists, poets, scientists, sovereigns were invited to stay. The park around the Villa is one of the most beautiful in Europe, it spreads out a 50 hectare surface and gives you the possibility to go for walks through woods, soft lawns, little lakes. You can admire several species of flowers and trees, trunks that lichens transformed in emerald columns.
