토세노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

The castello was built in the first half of the 13th century and was the residence of the Milanese Noble family de'Ghiriglioni. The small fortress originally encompassed an area of 41 x 54 metres enclosed by a wall with 4 guard towers at each corner. The south-eastern wall bordered directly on the lake and had its own jetty. Moats around the three remaining walls offered further protection from potential aggressors. After 400 years the de'Ghiriglioni family returned to Milan in the 17th century. While the Western area of the castle was almost completely destroyed over the centuries, the Eastern part remains and ist today the Hotel Castello Seeschloss. You can stay in the south-eastern tower.

People live in and around this fortress. This place is very original and has a very special charm.

Beautiful view of the castelli of Cannero.

In 1519 Ludovico Borromeo settled on the islets in front of Cannero and Cannobio. Exactly five centuries later the works for the restoration of the Castles of Cannero restarted. Three years is the time needed to transform them into a museum that will tell the story of the castle through the centuries, thanks to the finds found during the archaeological excavation campaigns and with the help of appropriate information technologies. https://www.isoleborromee.it/castelli-di-cannero/

In the Middle Ages, the robber baron brothers Mazzardi tyrannized the entire lake region until they kidnapped the daughters of Podesta from Cannobio and thus overstepped the mark. Filippo Visconti destroyed its fortifications in 1414 and had the robber barons executed. The larger island is to be developed for tourism, which can be seen from the renovation work with the large yellow construction crane.

The historic San Materno Castle revives, after careful restoration, as a modern space for exhibitions of the municipality of Ascona in all its splendor. Thanks to a happy agreement between the community and the Kulturstiftung Kurt and Barbara Alten, the castle houses a permanent collection of more than forty works by German artists, the most important from the end of the nineteenth century until after the First World War.
