Caressed by the blue waters of the enchanted lake Iseo, surrounded by green mountains and custodian of splendid works of art: that's why Lovere is one of the most beautiful hamlets of Italy!
Situated tightly between the lake and the mountain, built on a territory that has the aspect of an amphitheatre Lovere, rated as one of the Most Beautiful Medieval Hamlets of Italy, will conduct you in a timeless trip.
Going up from the XIII Martiri square, considered as one of the most beautiful squares of the northern Italian lake districts, surrounded by splendid buildings of different epochs and styles, you can spot immediately the Academy of Fine Arts Tadini with art works of famous artists as Canova and Hayez a visit you mustn’t miss.
Following the walk from the harbour through the neighbourhood of the Beccheries among narrow and silent alleys you will remain bewitched by the beauties that surround you: from the Civic Tower that beats the time on the square Emanuele V, to the church of S. George custodian of splendid art works; from the monastery of S. Chiara, the Sanctuary of the Saints, until you arrive in the Renaissance part of Lovere with the most beautiful sight, the enchanting Basilica of Virgin Mary.

But there are many more medieval hamlets around the lake like Pisogne with the splendid church of Santa Maria della Neve the home of the amazing Romanino’s frescos or Riva di Solto one of the smallest medieval hamlets situated right on the lake front with its beautiful villas where the time seems to have stopped or the town of Iseo, the capital of the lake with its animated piazza’s and boutiques not to be missed.
