About Grotte di Catullo & Museo Archeologico
The Grotte di Catullo was a large Roman residential villa built on the Sirmione peninsula on Lake Garda between the first century BCE and the first century CE. Tradition linked it to the poet Catullus, though the attribution is unconfirmed and considered legendary. It illustrates the scale of luxury villa architecture built by wealthy Romans along the lake.
