Last weekend we went to Riva Del Garda, on the tip of the Garda Lake. It is around one hour journey from Trento. As it is still in the same region of Trentino, the transport is included with the yearly bus pass we paid in advance (a saving of 6.6 euros for the round trip journey) .We made a stop at Arco to visit the castle. The castle is more like ruins now. As with most castles, it is built on top of a hill to gain a more strategic position for surveillance and warfare.
Sword and axes has always drawn my attention more than guns and bullets. The medieval fighters seem to be stronger and the appearance of mythical creatures usually makes the story more interesting.
Even when it is now empty, the castle still has a trace of its past glory. And also it felt good to look from the top of the hill to the small town below.

Hmm.. pretty sure few wondered about those two circles on the ground. What are they? Satelite dish? Shooting target?
Honestly, I've never heard about Italy's version of knighthood and royalties. Yeah, it can be found from net, but 1st eye-witness report is always more interesting, right? With pics, of course :)
i also wonder what those signs are, we should have asked the people there . . . in Italian :S
