Exhibition path of the Area 
The archaeological area of ​​the Caves of Catullus is located in an exceptional panoramic position, on the tip of the Sirmione peninsula. The exhibition path includes the open-air archaeological area called the Caves of Catullus and the Archaeological Museum of Sirmione. Throughout the archaeological area of ​​the Caves of Catullus, the ground is uneven and alternates between compact earth and paths in grass. 

Caves of Catullus 
The archaeological area of ​​the Caves of Catullus preserves the remains of one of the largest Roman villas in northern Italy. Located in a panoramic position, it overlooks the entire basin of Lake Garda. The villa covers an area of ​​about 2 hectares and is surrounded by a historic olive grove consisting of over 1500 plants. It was built in the Augustan age, at the end of the 1st century BC, and abandoned during the 3rd century AD. The structures were called "Caves of Catullus" to indicate the collapsed rooms, covered by vegetation, which could be entered as natural cavities. The archaeological area extends over a large rocky spur and is crossed by a dense network of paths. Some of these paths are accessible to people with motor disabilities and are indicated by orientation signs with the wheelchair symbol: these are paths with a surface of compacted earth and fine gravel, at least 80 cm wide, with various sections sloping usually less than 8%. They lead to the floor of the villa, at the top of the hill: from here you can enjoy a splendid panorama of the entire archaeological area and Lake Garda. The paths leading to the foundations of the villa, at the base of the hill, are not accessible as they consist of steep stairs. In the archaeological area, there are informative totems in three languages ​​(Italian, English, and German).
