Lake Garda, Italy.


Lake Garda, Italy.
The Castello Scaligero (Scaliger Castle) in Sirmione is an extraordinary example of lakeside fortification and one of the most spectacular and best-preserved Scaliger fortresses.
Built in the second half of the 14th century, the castle takes its name from the Della Scala family who dominated Verona and the area between the 13th and 14th centuries.
The castle has a dock that still encloses a small part of the lake today.
The style of Castello Scaligero (Scaliger Castle) is similar to other fortresses in the area from the same period.
Typical features of Scaliger architecture are the open-gorged towers, open towards the inside, while the dock is an exceptional example of 14th-century port fortification.
