The Visconti Castle of San Vito di Massino Visconti is a fortified complex built in the 11th century at the entrance to the municipality of the same name, situated on a terraced hillside. Construction of the castle began around the 11th century; its original function was as a monastery for the monks of St. Gall. Within just over a century, the castle became the noble country estate of the Visconti family, who settled there as feudal lords in 1139. The castle of Massino Visconti was partially destroyed in 1358 by Galeazzo II Visconti, who was at war with the Margrave of Monferrato. In 1721, Filippo Maria Visconti, later Archbishop of Milan, was born there. In 1863, it was purchased by the Visconti of Aragon from Pietro Pallestrini of Villa Biscossi. A scholar and author of an industrial journal on Verbano, as well as mayor of Massino, he lived there and restored it before passing it on to another branch of the Visconti family, the Visconti di San Vito, who own the castle until 2022. Today, the castle presents itself as a well-preserved manor house. The current building is the result of a series of significant renovations in the 16th century: today, it is a three-story structure with a single tower (the central keep), wedged between buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Near the courtyard, a small balcony can be seen from which the Visconti brothers spoke to the villagers. The other three towers were demolished to make room for the laundry, kitchen, stables, cowshed, and garden. In the past, there was also a moat, a drawbridge, prisons, and torture traps, such as the one still visible today at the edge of a deep well, in which steel blades were placed. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Massino_Visconti

The Church of the Purification of the Virgin Mary is the parish church of Massino Visconti in the Province and Diocese of Novara. It is part of the Vergante pastoral unit. The first mention of a Catholic church in Massino dates back to 887. The new church was built in the second half of the 16th century with three naves and was given the title of parish church during the same period, after the Church of San Michele was severely damaged by a landslide. In the first half of the 19th century, the old Romanesque bell tower was demolished and replaced with a new tower. The church's striking, west-facing façade consists of three volumes interrupted by pilasters: the main body, characterized by the main portal, is preceded by a small portico opening into a serliana in the center, while the two side wings have secondary entrances. Attached to the parish church is the stone bell tower with a square floor plan. Its cell has a single-lancet window on each side, protected by a balustrade, and is crowned by a pyramidal spire resting on a drum with an octagonal base. The interior of the building is divided into three naves, overlooking which the side chapels face. Pillars and columns support round arches, above which runs the molded and projecting entablature, upon which the vaults rest. At the end of the hall is the presbytery, raised a few steps, bordered by balustrades and housing the main altar. Several valuable works have been preserved here, including the 16th-century frescoes depicting Saint Mary of the Assumption and the Coronation of Mary, as well as the paintings on the vaults depicting the Doctors of the Church and the symbols of the Evangelists. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_della_Purificazione_di_Maria_Vergine_(Massino_Visconti)

Piazza Motta, Orta San Giulio Among the points not to be missed is Piazza Motta, the beating heart of the village, rich in history and vitality. In the centre of the square stands the Broletto, also known as the Palazzotto. Once it was the place where the representatives of the villages of the entire Riviera met to make the most important decisions. The building dates back to the sixteenth century. On the external walls you can see the coats of arms of the bishops who ruled the Riviera, three sundials and the symbol of Orta San Giulio: the coat of arms with the Hortus Conclusus.

The square itself is a prime example of Italian architecture. Colorful facades on the east side, opposite the lake with a row of chestnut trees (formerly elms). The small Palazzo della Comunità with a foundation of picturesque arcades (popular as a wedding backdrop) is unmissable. Shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars and boat docks are spread around the entire square. On the north side, the alley Salita di Motta leads up to the church of Maria Trost and the Sacro Monte, other alleys - almost star-shaped - open up other parts of Orta.
