Visconti Castle, Renaissance castle in Cusago, Italy
The castle features a quadrilateral layout with a single entrance tower and an eight-arched portico facing the central square of Cusago.
Built in 1360 by Bernabò Visconti as a hunting lodge, the castle served as a strategic residence for the rulers of Milan during the 14th century.
The castle exemplifies the architectural transition from medieval military fortification to Renaissance country residence through its design and decorative elements.
The castle remains closed to visitors as it undergoes extensive restoration work initiated by a real estate company that acquired the property in 2016.
Duke Filippo Maria Visconti constructed a dedicated canal in 1438 to connect the castle directly with the Naviglio Grande waterway.
