The first written mention of a "tower" in the area of today's castle comes from the year 1198. In that year the consuls of the city of Pavia raised Vigevano to the rank of a "village" under the jurisdiction of Pavia; The document mentions a "tower" that the Vigevanese swore to build as high as ordered by the consuls of Pavia.

The tower consists of 7 floors plus the peephole. The first 4 floors are open to the public and an internal staircase leads to the projecting terrace surrounded by Ghibelline battlements at a height of about 31 meters above the castle courtyard. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the square below, of the old town.
