A
few kilometres after Tavernola in the direction of Lovere, we
reach Riva di Solto, an ancient medieval centre against the lake.
For it’s urban conformation Riva di Solto is one of the most
picturesque localities of the Sebino. Some Ruins, among which
those of the castle and of the tower of the 13th century, square
in plan, on the most northern side of the village, are the traces
of a defensive system in this housing settlement. From the port
there are daily a lot of connections to Montisola. The camping
just a few steps outside of Riva di Solto houses a number of
tourists every summer, partly because of a great pizzeria on site
and a clean beach where one can swim and sunbathe..
The public
buildings worth mentioning are: Palazzo Polini an ex-Monastery
from the 16th century, with a splendid courtyard and frescoes
inside, and Palazzo Martinoni, with its Baroque entrance and
porticoed courtyard. |
