Why go
Scaligero Castle of Sirmione rewards a focused visit because a fortified harbor and crenellated towers guard the entrance to Sirmione's old town. The upper walkways show the peninsula's narrow shape and the castle's water defenses. Its strongest details reward comparison rather than a quick photograph from the entrance. Give the central feature time before widening the visit to its lanes, gardens or surrounding slopes.
