Idk if anyone cares, but it was a way to keep ships, and consequently trade, safe! Sirmione is on the Lago di Garda (Garda Lake) and was important in the late medieval - Renaissance period as a port. Lago di Garda was along the border of the republics/ duchies of Verona, Venice, Trento, and Milan (today it’s on the border of the regions of Lombardy and Veneto), so it made sense that Verona wanted to defend it. There’s actually a fair amount of surviving castles in the area that were built for defense around the same time.

The castle does have an entire building; OP’s pic only shows the lake defenses (which are at the back of the castle). It’s actually a really cool example of architectural history! Ships could come to the port to trade and not have to be concerned with being attacked in the secure harbor.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous place to visit. The water is so clear and blue.

See? Castle with a protected port and outside wall as fortifications. Plus drawbridge!

Also Sirmione is at the end of a peninsula jutting out into the lake, so it provided additional defense for the coastline. You still can only get there by walking across the bridges or taking a ferry.

Scaligero Castle

The old town of Sirmione is guarded by a 14th-century fortification, built by the Della Scalia family. It is known as Scaligero Castle, although it is smaller than imagined a castle to be. It is in the middle of the town. If arriving in Sirmione by boat on Lake Garda, a short walk through the old town will take you there. The central courtyard has four sides, but they are not all the same…

Sirmione, a pearl in the splendid setting of Lake Garda.
