Tips

A well-known building in Lomellina, thanks also to its use as the seat of the "Mondo X" community a few decades ago, it dates back to the 11th century, making it one of the oldest fortified buildings in the area.
However, it was then completely transformed, or even rebuilt, in the Visconti era, more precisely around 1350. The addition, or at least the arrangement, of the ravelin, on the other hand, almost certainly dates back to the Sforza period (1467).

On the course of the Sesia, Cozzo was endowed with a strong castle, rebuilt by the Milanese in 1214 and rebuilt in the 15th century, when it became the possession of the Gallarati family. On this occasion it was equipped with two drawbridges, a high tower, a Ghibelline battlements, which still crown the building, and numerous internal embellishments such as terracotta moldings and graffiti frescoes. The works were not yet finished when, in September 1499, the castle even hosted the King of France Louis XII, who led his army towards Milan. The event is also remembered in an internal fresco.
