    The origin of the castle in its oldest form is uncertain. The current building probably dates from 1342, when the Castello was conquered and expanded by the Milanese ruler Luchino Visconti. Between 1439 and 1466 it was inhabited by the Rusca family, who built important fortifications that were supposed to protect not only the castle but also the port and which reached to the lower end of today's Via Franchino Rusca. After the Swiss victory in 1532, the castle was largely demolished. Only one of the five towers remains.
