Moniga del Garda

Tra storia e presente, un luogo ricco di emozioni

On the origins of the toponym two hypotheses have been put forward: the first leads him back to the Como local "Lomaniga" (of which it would be apheretic), which derives from an ancient personal "Lumena", in which the addition of the suffix -ICA indicates membership; the second one wants it deriving from the Latin personnel AMMONIUS (the added suffix would be the same). Its ancient origins are attested by the findings (the remains of a palafitta) dating back to the Early Bronze Age (1800-2000 BC). An altar of the IV-V centuries BC witnesses a subsequent presence of the Romans, who built the union between Brescia and Verona. During the Middle Ages its events did not have to be different from those of the other localities of Valtenesi: witness of the medieval clashes and those of the following times is the castle, still well preserved. Among the important elements of its historical and artistic heritage are: the church of San Michele, the Romanesque church of San Sivino and the parish church dedicated to San Martino. For civil architecture the most important testimony is certainly the late-Romanesque castle (one of the best preserved in Valtenesi). Very suggestive are some houses of the fifteenth century and the Villa Brunati, dating back to the seventeenth century.
