Castello Scaligero di Sirmione

The castle is situated at the narrowest point of the Sirmione peninsula on Lake Garda.

 Construction was initiated on behalf of the Della Scala family of Verona, who are known as the Scaligeri from which it takes it name.[3] The family ruled Verona and a large part of the Venetian area from the years 1259 to 1387.


The Scaligeri fortifications have the distinctive dovetail battlements.
