コルテヌオーヴァの洞窟・トップ13

Fortress, stately home, granary, farmhouse, monument. How many other buildings can boast of having survived the centuries, adapting to the passage of time? This is the story of the Visconti Castle of Pagazzano; indeed, different uses and needs make up its history. There are still those who remember how, as a child, they accompanied their grandfather to buy seeds inside the castle and even in its very rooms. Here, within its walls, the poet Petrarch stayed as a guest several times. And within its walls, a very young Francesco Bernardino Visconti, known to all as "the Unnamed," grew up, entrusted to his uncle, the archpriest Galeazzo Visconti, in 1595. Today, it hosts conferences, theater and music festivals, sculpture symposia, and educational workshops.

beautiful, worth stopping and visiting

Pagazzano Castle

to visit

Beautiful castle, very well preserved and enriched by a beautiful drawbridge and its moat

Interesting: it's a shame it's in a state of total abandonment

The Visconti palace is very beautiful. I just have one curiosity: when will the restoration work come? They have been going on since 2003...

Nice very nice. The only flaw: there isn't even a fountain to cool off...
