Manerba del Garda is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. It is located at the south-west side of the Lake Garda.

Rocca di manerba, a historical site on a hill surrounded by the city, has been almost continuously occupied from the late Neolithic to the 16th century.^[2] Now the ruins on its top and a panoramic view from there, are a tourists attraction.

World heritage site

It is home to one or more prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site.^[3]
