Built in the 14th century where a fortification prior to the medieval period already existed, it was renovated several times by the owners who succeeded the Visconti: among these we note the interventions made by the Colleoni and Albani families. The castle is municipal property, has a square plan structure with four towers placed at the perimeter vertices and two more above the entrance doors. It also preserves the moat and the relative access bridges, and is often the site of cultural initiatives. urgnanoturistica.it/rocca.php

Urgnano, a name that doesn't promise anything good but instead...

The castle is very well kept. It is possible to cross it by bicycle, and there is a nice little park at the level of the lower moat.
