Visconti Castle, Medieval castle in Vercelli, Italy
The castle features a quadrangular layout with square towers at each corner and includes two main entrances on opposite sides along with an internal courtyard.
Matteo I Visconti commissioned the construction of this fortified structure in 1290, establishing it as a symbol of power over the region.
The castle holds the status of Italian national heritage and now functions as the Tribunal of Vercelli, representing centuries of administrative authority.
The structure stands near Piazza Amedeo IX di Savoia and permits external viewing, though internal access remains restricted to official legal functions.
During the Franco-Spanish War, the castle endured damage from a Spanish siege in 1638, but local residents worked together to restore it.
