Visconti Castle, Medieval fortress in Abbiategrasso, Italy
The Visconti Castle features a quadrangular design with an internal courtyard, four corner towers, and brick construction enhanced by stone decorative elements.
Built in 1381 under the direction of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, the castle served as a residence for Milan's duchesses from the Visconti and Sforza families.
The castle walls contain numerous frescoes from different time periods, depicting scenes from medieval life and the noble families of Milan.
Visitors can access the castle grounds during weekday office hours, as the building now functions as Abbiategrasso's administrative center and City Council headquarters.
Agnese del Maino, mistress of Duke Filippo Maria Visconti, maintained permanent residence in the castle, where their daughter Bianca Maria spent her childhood years.
