The Visconti castle of Cassano d'Adda is a medieval fortress with over 900 years of history behind it. The fortress was built in the 13th century, on the orders of Ottone Visconti, archbishop of Milan at the time. Over the following centuries, the castle took on different roles from time to time: prison, private residence of the Visconti family, court, military outpost. The structure of the castle – which is now a hotel – is still preserved in excellent condition today.

Ancient castle located along the bank of the Adda River in Cassano d'Adda. It is a hotel and like all private facilities it has restrictions on accessing it, if not booking a room;)

The Visconteo Castle of Cassano d'Adda stands in a place of strategic importance for the control of the Adda pass, a natural bulwark that guaranteed the defense and control of the transit of goods. The construction of the castle seems to date back to the Carolingian era (around the year 808). During the Middle Ages it was the subject of disputes between Guelphs and Ghibellines and later between the Della Torre and the Visconti. The construction of the castle and the adjacent shelter is due to Ottone Visconti, archbishop of Milan from 1261 to 1295, who made it a bulwark against the Della Torre who, driven out of Milan, had taken refuge in the Gera d'Adda.
