The castle is perched on a rugged rocky spur, from which it overlooks the Alto Garda plain. Of the ancient fortress, the towers, part of the curtain walls, and some ruined buildings remain intact, having suffered numerous assaults over the centuries. The last was that of the French troops in August 1703, while the War of the Spanish Succession was being fought.
Inside Arco Castle, thanks to a recent restoration, you can visit the Prigione del Sasso (Stone Prison) and the Torre Grande, whose walls are decorated with a splendid cycle of 14th-century secular frescoes depicting ladies playing chess.
