ペスキエーラデルガルダの洞窟・トップ20

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

Scaligero Castle free visit

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.
