Sirmione

Among the cities of Lombardy, Sirmione stands out for its narrow peninsula reaching into Lake Garda. Water borders the historic centre on three sides, while the peninsula’s tip leads to the Grotte di Catullo, extensive remains of a Roman villa. The 13th-century Scaligero Castle guards the old town entrance with moat, crenellated walls and towers, recalling the Scaliger family’s medieval power around the lake. Sirmione is also associated with thermal springs, long used for spa treatments. Its lanes, lakeside promenades and ferry connections make it a distinct stop on Garda’s southern shore.
