Volta Mantovana, overlooking the picturesque Mincio Valley, boasts an ancient history dating back to the Iron Age, as evidenced by archaeological findings on-site. The imposing medieval castle that overlooks the town stands as an authentic historical gem. The origins of the castle trace back to the High Middle Ages, but it's in the 10th century that it becomes an integral part of the Canossa defensive system. Throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, the castle undergoes further transformations that render it an impressive structure: surrounded by defensive walls and a moat, it houses a church, a charming village, and an inner fortress protecting the keep, along with a south tower, splendidly restored today. The entrance gates, particularly the "Porta Mantovana," showcase robust fortifications and a gracefully arched Gothic entrance. Among the other architectural treasures of the locale, the Palazzo Gonzaga stands out, built in the mid-15th century. This sumptuous building, commissioned by the Marquises of Mantua Ludovico Gonzaga and Barbara of Brandenburg, rises next to the city walls and also includes a pre-existing tower. Over time, the palace changes hands to the Guerrieri family, appointed as vicars of Volta by the Gonzagas themselves. The building assumes the role of a municipal seat in 1515 and currently hosts various functions. Within the complex, there's also an infopoint hosting a tasting and refreshment area, promoting the tourist and gastronomic excellences of the region, renowned for its high-quality wines.
