I see only one castle on the map at Lake Garda, but if you search for Castle Garda you get a Google map with castles all around the lake. The one at Malcesine has both types of melons.

One of them has a drawing that seems reminiscent of some buildings in the rosettes

They have that one coloured up into a sign as well as others

There are remains of 14th century frescoes also

It's beautiful. Added to the map. There are probably many other "missing" places as well, like certain Italian cities.

I'm going to make a quick video about this project. Any favorite buildings I should definitely include?

Here is another example.
It is probably the most northerly at the moment. There are actually two castles.
There is another one about 10 km to the north. But I couldn't find it anymore.

And here's another one.
Somewhat surprised that the castle is not yet listed.
It was one of the most important castles in the region.

Countess Margarete von Tirol lived here.

Even if you can't see the battlements on the wall, there are still some beautiful examples.
   

Perhaps a nice motif for your video Koen.

Fresco at Runkelstein Castle, Margarete playing ball.
