Updating Map... The tower is lovely. Not expensive to go up and a small display on one floor. Could only go half way up but the view was good out on to the square. Enjoyed
This tower with its shape is the landmark of Vigevano and is the gate to the castle. It can be climbed for a small fee and you can get the best view of the city and surrounding area.
As in many medieval towers in Italy each section has its own history. Built originally as a guard tower on the lookout for approaching enemies,it gradually became an integral part of the castle.grounds.
Exploring the Piazza, I stumbled across this area of the tower. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go up. The stairs are a bit narrow so high shoes not recommended, however, once up there, the view is amazing! Beautiful structure in indeed.
An impressive piece of architecture by the master, Bramante. Overlooking the exquisite Renaissance Piazza Ducale and also the interior of the ruined Castello Sforzesco. A good photographic opportunity
