Rocca Borromeo di Angera
Rocca Borromeo di Angera, Medieval fortress in Angera, Italy.
The castle stands on a limestone cliff overlooking Lake Maggiore, featuring four distinct sections that enclose an internal courtyard.
The Visconti family acquired the fortress after their victory in the Battle of Desio in 1277, later selling it to the Borromeo family in 1449.
The Hall of Justice contains medieval frescoes depicting the triumph of Archbishop Ottone Visconti over Napoleone della Torre in battle scenes.
Visitors can access all areas of the castle, including the medieval gardens and doll museum, with a single admission ticket from March through November.
The castle houses Europe's largest doll collection, established in 1988, displaying over 1000 pieces dating from the 18th century to present day.
