On the southwestern shore of Lake Garda, a few kilometers north of Desenzano del Garda, lies the small town of Padenghe sul Garda in the fertile Valtenesi region. Over several centuries, numerous castles and fortifications were built in this area, reflecting the fierce power struggle already underway for the wines and olive oils produced in the Valtenesi. The castle ruins, perched on a hill above Padenghe, represent the remains of a fortress built of rubble and fieldstones as early as the 10th century. Originally lacking corner towers, the approximately 70 by 38 meter structure, situated on the gently sloping side of a moraine hill facing Lake Garda, was protected by a ditch. It was probably only in the first half of the 14th century that two square wall towers and two corner towers were added to the curtain wall. The wall on the steeper southeastern side, reaching a height of about 9 meters, remained without towers. After 1330, under the rule of the Scaliger family of Verona, a separate noble castle was built on the northeastern flank, reinforced in the northern section by a round tower 17 meters high and approximately 9 meters in diameter. https://www.gardasee-domizil.de/burg-padenghe-sul-garda.php

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. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirmione

The Scaliger Castle of Sirmione is an outstanding example of a sea fortress and one of the most spectacular and best preserved castles on Lake Garda. The castle is located at the entrance to the medieval old town and consists of a central fortified square surrounded by a defensive wall with three corner towers, above which the high main tower rises. Another, lower defensive wall surrounds a second courtyard, the courtyard of the dock and the dock itself.
