Set on a rock peninsula surrounded by Lake Garda’s shimmering waters, Castello Scaligero di Sirmione is one of Italy’s most complete and well-preserved medieval castles. Constructed in the 14th century by the Della Scala lords from Verona atop an earlier Roman fortification, this lake fortress once defended the Scaliger fleet and controlled access to the town of Sirmione . Today, visitors can walk across drawbridges, explore fortified walls, and climb the towering keep to enjoy dramatic views over the peninsula and the southern lakeshore The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed.
