The Dolomites – Hidden Gem of Italy

Castello Scaligero is a medieval fortress on the southern shore of Lake Garda. The castle dates back to the 13th century and was built by the Scaliger family, who ruled the area around Lake Garda during the Middle Ages.

The castle is surrounded by water on three sides and is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. It has several towers, including a large central tower that was used as a keep, and a courtyard that was used for public events and ceremonies. The castle also has a number of defensive features, including battlements, a moat, and a portcullis.

Today, Scaligero Castle is a popular travel attraction and is open to the public. You can explore the castle's various rooms and towers, which house exhibits on the history of the castle and the surrounding area. The castle also offers panoramic views of the town of Sirmione and Lake Garda.
