On the narrowest point of the Sirmione pennisula with imposing fortifications, multiple draw bridges, and a walled harbour, it must have been quite the statement of power. Here are a few shots of and feom the castle. 000

The Jolly Hobos | Brad @jollyhobos.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Riva del Garda sits on the northern end of Italy's largest lake, Lake Garda. Its waterways and venetian architecture surrounded by soaring mountains and mountain top towns it's part Riviera and part Dolomites, but all charm!
