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

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

This fascinating castle, built starting from the 12th century, once had a defensive function and housed the troops, as well as prisons and food warehouses. The garden can be visited every day, while the internal spaces are accessible on the first Sunday of the month from March to June and then from September to November.
