Palace Leone da Perego, Medieval palace in Legnano, Italy

The Palace Leone da Perego features two entrances and stands near the Basilica di San Magno, with decorative elements dating from different periods.

The palace, originally constructed in the 13th century, served as a summer residence for Archbishop Leone da Perego until his death in 1257.

Two Visconti coats of arms remain from the original structure, including one at the entrance to Corso Magenta dating from 1277.

The palace functions as a museum and includes facilities such as the Astronomical Observatory of Legnano, located at Via Gilardelli 11.

During the 1361 plague outbreak, Archbishop Roberto Visconti sought refuge in this palace, where historical records indicate he may have died.
