The town centre is guarded by the Rocca Scaligera, a majestic fortress built during the Veronese domination of Sirmione, in the 13th and 14th century. Nowadays, Sirmione is a popular tourist site due to its thermal barths and archeological remains, dating back to the Roman age.Bardolino(Pass by)

In the medieval age the town was the seat of an important monastery and later, especially under the government of Veronese family Della Scala, it was ringed by massive walls.

Inhabited since the 2nd millennium B.C., it became an important commercial hub during the Roman age, being on the way for the goods coming from Germany. In the late 10th century it gained extensive autonomy from the Sacred Roman Empire, being thus considered as the first free municipality in Italy. In the 17th century the so called "Dogana Veneta" was built: a large warehouse, previously the harbor arsenal, used as a customhouse and today a congress centre.
