Castello di Sasso Corbaro :230 metres above town and typical fortress of the Sforza family, (similar to many of the Lombard citadels), the whole structure is reduced to a geometric figure. The dungeon has walls 4.70m thick and the watch tower is attached to the external high walls. It was built in 1479 in just six months by order of the Duke of Milan and under the supervision of a military engineer, Benedetto Ferrini of Florence. It is named by the locals « Castello della Cima » (castle of the top). In 1919, the State bought it to save and restore. The castle stands in the middle of a wood, in a peaceful environment from where the view again is stunning. The castles legends |
