City gate with (former) drawbridge.

The moat separates the old town at the tip of the peninsula from the rest of the mainland.

Cycling is prohibited from here and only a few cars with a special permit are allowed to continue driving.

The bridge is the only access road to the old historic center of Sirmione.

Very nice but also very crowded.

The Scaliger Castle separates the town from the mainland with a large harbor basin and a circular wall. The Scaliger family built the castle, completed in the 14th century under Antonio della Scala (1363–1388), to protect the harbor of the Lake Garda fleet. Built for purely military purposes, the castle served the Scaliger family not only as protection against external enemies but also against attacks by the local population. The well-preserved castle dominates the image of Sirmione today. Only a bridge leads across the deep moat through a portal bearing the coats of arms of the Scaliger family (a ladder) and the Venetians (a winged lion), from which access to the town could be controlled. Loopholes show how the castle soldiers controlled the route to Sirmione from here.
