Quiet place and view that is worth seeing

castello Borromeo

Corneliano Castle is an obligatory stop along the route

Beautiful castle, it makes the town suggestive and hosts some events.

Important power station built with a construction that integrates without excessively disfiguring the entire area

The well is one of the few things that remains intact among the ruins of the Visconti Castle and it is said that one of Bernabò Visconti's daughters was thrown into it by her father because of a forbidden love affair. The castle has a rather troubled history, Bernabò Visconti himself was killed there by his nephew Gian Galeazzo. Its strategic position made it the object of fierce disputes between Federico Barbarossa, the Viscontis, the Torrianis and the Colleonis, and then it was conquered by the Count of Carmagnola who began its demolition. It's a shame that a castle with so much history to tell should perhaps be valued more.

It's almost a duty to stop and discover the place. Very charming intact castle.

The Visconti castle of Cassano d'Adda is a medieval fortress with over 900 years of history behind it. The fortress was built in the 13th century, on the orders of Ottone Visconti, archbishop of Milan at the time. Over the following centuries, the castle took on different roles from time to time: prison, private residence of the Visconti family, court, military outpost. The structure of the castle – which is now a hotel – is still preserved in excellent condition today.
