Visconti Castle (Pandino)

[1][2] In 1355, Bernabò Visconti, Lord of Milan, and his wife Regina Della Scala commissioned a castle at Pandino.

[2] The castle is quadrilateral in plan with corner towers and an internal courtyard with a hemming ground-floor portico with stout brick columns with pointed arches.

[1] After the Sforza period, the castle changed hands a few times until 1552, when Marchese D'Adda acquired it.

The castle slowly deteriorated and was finally used to house farmers' families and for agricultural storage.

Subsequently, the restoration extended to the original paintings with the geometric motif of the quatrefoil containing the alternated coats of arms of the Visconti and Della Scala.
