Monuments and places of interest: San Sivino-Gabbiano pile-dwelling site, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the transnational serial site Prehistoric Pile-Dwellings Around the Alps. History Legend has it that Manerba was built in devotion to the goddess Minerva. She came to hide in this valley, an important and evocative center of the Valtenesi, where she planted her olive trees (of which she was the protector) and taught many of her arts. A temple was built in her honor, which the town’s fortress was easily defended from any attack. Human presence on Lake Garda dates back to prehistoric times, more precisely to the Late Neolithic (around 4000 BC): in fact, remains have been found under the fortress, but it was destroyed by the Barbarians. Many scholars believe that the toponym of Manerba derives from “Minerva arx”. Others, however, trace the name back to the Cenomani Gauls (the term derives from the union of “mon,” meaning man of arms, and “erb,” meaning military zone). The toponym, in this case, would indicate “a fortified place, residence of the chief”: this is plausible given that from the top of the village’s fortress, it was easy to defend against any attack. Human presence on Lake Garda dates back to prehistoric times, more precisely to the Late Neolithic (around 4000 BC): in fact, remains of a Mesolithic village have been found beneath the fortress. Since the Lombard era, the area was part of the court of the Monastery of San Colombano del Priorato di Bardolino and the priory of Solarolo, dependent on the Abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio (PC), and of the large monastic fiefdom of Bobbio. The great monks evangelized the territory, encouraging the expansion of trade, agriculture (especially vines and olives), fishing, and culture, introducing important innovations and opening trade routes.
