Guide of Vigevano, Italy

Vigevano, Italy

This is a tiny architectural jewel that owes a lot to the genial creativity of Bramante. It is worth a day's visit. There are many things to see, including the castle (Castello Visconteo-Sforzesco), one of the largest in Europe. This is a true city within a city, with very ancient origins: the original center of the Castle dates back as far as the Lombard Era, and was renovated to become an aristocratic residence by the Visconti family and then by the Sforza family, with the artistic contribution by Bramante and Leonardo da Vinci.

• Bramante's Tower
