It is one of the best preserved Italian castles and one of the rare examples of lake fortification. As the name suggests, the castle is from the Scaligera era, therefore linked to the most flourishing period of the city of Verona. The construction of the castle began in the mid-13th century, most likely on previous remains from the Roman era and its function was always exclusively defensive, port control and prison. The Grotte di Catullo The first settlements date back to the Bronze Age, of which there are traces of pile dwellings, a place that later, in Roman times, became a holiday resort. In fact, on the tip of the island, there is an ancient and precious Roman villa, called “Le Grotte di Catullo”, with frescoes from the 1st and 2nd century AD inside, a nearby museum preserves archaeological finds. This impressive archaeological site, in addition to representing the most important testimony among the findings of the Roman period in the Sirmione area, is considered the most grandiose example of a Roman villa discovered in northern Italy. The name “Grotte” dates back to the 15th century when chronicler-travelers discovered the existence of these “caverns” collapsed and covered with vegetation. Gaius Valerius Catullus, born around 87 BC and died in 54 BC, belonged to the rich Veronese family of the Valeri and certainly owned a home in Sirmione, although it is not proven that his villa was located in this exact place. The Aquaria thermal baths are very famous.
