saint martino tower印象
-
The tower is situated with a commanding view of Lake Garda and is rich with history. Recommend that you read the history and understand that this is a battle monument where thousands of men lost their lives. Additionally, recommend that you visit the chapel below the monument. The chapel contains the remains of several thousand soldiers from the battle. Might not be appropriate for some children. Definitely recommend for those who enjoy history and an amazing view...

The San Martino tower provides wonderful views of the lovely landscape surrounding the historic area (Battle of Solferino), all the way up to Lake Garda. Going up the tower, visitors can see informative and well-done paintings of the region's history (especially as it pertains to the years of the Italian liberation struggle, including the huge battle of San Martino/Solferino).

Our family climbed to the top and enjoyed the view, as well as the murals in the tower. Lots of historic information.

Una esperienza meravigliosa, un luogo incantato pieno di istoria arte. direi che e difficile da spiegare la emozione che si prova al stare in un luogo cosi..poi la vista di sopra la torre e unica.

we visited here late in the afternoon and there were only 2 other people there. we got there at 5.30pm and it closes at 7pm. we thought the tower was stunning, we climbed to the top....no stairs just a floor round the inside.....wide enough for wheelchairs!! from the top the views were fantastic. then the museum is on site so we visited there and inside has all kinds of things like uniforms and weapons. then we visited the ossuay chapel, thought this would be a bit spooky but actually was okay consider there are the remains of 7000 soldiers. the wall at the back is covered in real skulls and femurs.....bit odd to see but okay. ive never seen anything like it but still glad I visited the place. well worth a visit.

La Torre di San Martino merita certamente una visita. E' circondata da un gran bel parco, con annesso museo della Battaglia di San Martino, interessante luogo culturale anche per chi non è appassionato di storia, con espesizioni di abiti, armi ed accessori del 1800 - 1900. Si può arrivare in cima alla torre alta circa 74 metri senza doversi uccidere di fatica, poichè il percorso è sì in salita, ma a spirale e senza gradini. Dalla cima si vede distintamente il lago ed il paesaggio limitrofo, molto bello. Nell'area del parcheggio c'è anche una cappella con ossario, un pò lugubre, ma particolare. Consiglio

The battle of San Martino on June 24, 1859 pitched some 150,000 Austrian soldiers against 190,000 French and Sardinian ones, and was a key battle in King Vittorio Emmanuele II's struggle to unify the Italian kingdom. The tower at the site of the battlefield is built in his memory. 65 metres high, it is not difficult to climb (an incline rather than stairs). The decorations inside (frescoes of key moments in the battle) are interesting though poorly illuminated. Without guidance, the view from the top reveals little about the actual battle, but the sight itself is worth the effort by clear weather, as it offers a sweeping view stretching from the south of Garda Lake and the morainic hills to the other towns which played a role in the battle. The museum at the foot of the tower has the look and smell of old museums, before museography became a science and an art; but the 15-minute or so slide show on five screens gives a very good idea of the importance of the battle, the strategic aspects and the stunning number of casualties (the importance of the casualties in this battle was what inspired Henri Dunant to set up the Red Cross) . Comments are offered in Italian, French, English and German. A little further, an Ossuary (and another in Solferino) where skulls and bones are displayed honours the memory of the soldiers killed in the battle. The altar in the middle bears tributes to them, and many appeals to end war and promote peace, which have not yet been heeded by humanity.A fee is charged for access to the tower and the museum (3 to 5 EUR according to age and status), and the inn opposite the entrance of the site serves excellent coffee.
