Melegnano Castle, Medieval castle in Melegnano, Italy
The rectangular brick fortress features four square towers at each corner and contains decorated halls with mid-16th century frescoes on the first floor.
Built in 1243 by Milan mayor Cattelano Carbone on earlier fortification ruins, the castle endured sieges in 1244 and 1245 during Frederick II raids.
The castle houses a municipal library and a small museum, preserving important historical documents and artifacts from the region of Lombardy.
The castle entrance includes a protective ravelin structure and maintains a deep moat that receives water from the nearby Lambro river.
The last Visconti Duke of Milan, Gian Galeazzo, spent his final moments in this castle before his death in 1402.
