The House-Museum was built in the mid-fifteenth century as the seat of the representative of the government of Venice, who was entrusted with the control of the territory. In the early 1900’s it became the property of the Brescian Senator Ugo Da Como, who had it completely restored and today the twenty fully furnished rooms are an important testimony to the high bourgeois taste for housing. It is part of a monumental complex of extraordinary beauty, dominated by the magnificent Visconti-Venetian Fortress that stands on top of one of the reliefs of the morainic amphitheatre and from which you can enjoy a splendid view over the entire southern basin of Lake Garda. Inside the House of the Captain of the Rocca there is the Civic Ornithological Museum, a collection of stuffed birds gathered in the early 1900’s, which presents in an almost complete way the Italian avifauna.
