The church was built by order of Alfonso the Magnanimous in 1421 and was elevated to a parish in the second half of the fifteenth century. In 1844, when the Diocese of Trapani was created, the church was made its episcopal seat.

Over the following centuries, the building was modified several times and its current appearance dates from the restoration of the eighteenth century by the architect Giovanni Biagio Amico.

Places to see in ( Riva Del Garda - Italy ) Rocca di Riva

Places to see in ( Riva Del Garda - Italy ) Rocca di Riva

La Rocca di Riva is a medieval fortress located in the town of Riva del Garda in the province of Trento . It is located on an artificial island on the shore of Lake Garda. The fortress was built at the behest of the prince bishop of Trento Altemanno in 1124 to defend the port of the city, a strategic point for trade to and from Trentino.

In the fourteenth century, after the conquest of the city by the Scaligeri , the fortress was renovated and expanded following the solutions already built for the fortresses of Lazise , Sirmione and Peschiera , including the possibility of direct access from the lake and the isolation from the mainland through ditches. Passed under the control of the Venetians, the fortress was at the center of the clashes with the Visconti and was repeatedly plundered.

In 1516 Riva was conquered by the emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg . With the return under Hapsburg domination, the military importance of the Rocca faded and was then used as a residence of the court of the bishop's principality of Trento. In the seventeenth century Gianangelo Madruzzo restructured it to house his wife Alfonsina Gonzaga from Novellara.

In the nineteenth century the fortress was transformed into an army barracks as part of the project to strengthen the border between the Empire of Austria and Italy. Important works were carried out such as the lowering of the corner towers and the rebuilding of all the interiors. In the fifties of the twentieth century within the Rocca was established the civic museum of Riva that still has its headquarters.
