There is a moat around the castle making it difficult to access to get a good picture. Infact the castle seems to join the peninsula together here as it straddles the land between the ferry harbour and the beach and small boat harbour. The castles defensive position was excellent because people could be spotted coming from the lake long before they arrived.

When they were covered by earth and herb, the ruin of villa look like caves entrances. So they are still called "Grotte".
It is the remaining of the Villa of the Poet Catullus which was a location to take thermal baths.

You'll find these huge lemons all around. There is even a place on the other side of the lake named Limone.
