Castle of Legnano, Medieval castle in Legnano, Italy
The Castle of San Giorgio stands on a natural island formed by the Olona River, featuring defensive structures with towers and a surrounding moat.
The fortress changed ownership between the Della Torre and Visconti families during the 13th century, serving as a strategic control point for Milan's northwestern territory.
The castle grounds host the annual Rugby Sound music festival and various cultural events, contributing to the local community's entertainment calendar.
Following extensive restoration work completed in 2005, visitors can explore the castle's medieval architecture and examine the remains of the original lookout tower.
The structure contains a small church dedicated to Saint George within its perimeter, dating back to an Augustinian convent established in 1231.
