Castello Visconteo, Medieval fortress in Lodi, Italy.
The Visconti Castle stands with an L-shaped structure, featuring a round tower at its northwest corner and remnants of the Imperial Gate.
Frederick Barbarossa initiated the construction in the 12th century, while Barnabò Visconti added four towers and underground dungeons between 1355 and 1370.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of northern Italian defensive structures, transitioning from medieval fortification to military barracks through centuries.
The castle currently serves as headquarters for the State Police, with limited access for public visits to its historical sections.
An extensive network of underground tunnels beneath the castle includes passages large enough for mounted riders to pass through.
