Accommodation near Legnago Italy

Legnago Italy

Just past Cologna Veneta on the banks of the river Adige which flows down from Verona, Legnago is a bustling town with remnants of prehistoric times. Because of its port and strategic location near both Venice and Verona, Legnago was used as a defensive base by local powers of the time, from the Venetians to the Austrians until Veneto was finally annexed when Italy became an independent state.

While much of the ancient ruins have been destroyed you'll still find plenty of things to marvel at including the Church of San Salvaro from the 12th century and the Torrione, the medieval tower from times when the town was completely surrounded by a wall. Legnago's most famous resident was Antonio Salieri, classical composer and rival of Mozart.
