It has been inhabited since the Neolithic and later it became an important commercial and cultural center under the Roman Empire. One of the most important historical sites of Sirmione are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traveleurope.it\/sirmione\/landmark\/hotel+sirmione+grotte-di-catullo.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Grotte di Catullo<\/strong><\/a>, ruins mistakenly thought to be the house of the great Latin poet: it is true that Catullus lived in Sirmione, but no one knows where.<\/p>\n<p>Sirmione has always been known as a spa resort, since Roman times, but only at the beginning of last century the first true spa center was created for body care (and relaxation). A long series of pipes carries the water from the springs on <strong>Monte Baldo<\/strong> to the several spas. These are sulphurous waters which, due to the presence of many elements, become extremely healing for the airways, the muscular apparatus and skin care.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the <strong>Terme di Catullo<\/strong>, the first establishment to be built, are in the centre of town, overlooking the lake.
