Seen from the outside it still retains all its charm, even if the structure is not complete. Inside he has completely lost his identity

Our castle contains within it the wonderful Gonzaga theater built in the second half of the nineteenth century and the ancient governor's palace, home of the ancient synagogue... come and visit us

The fortification of the area dates back to the early Middle Ages, while the presence of a castle is documented by written sources since the 14th century, even if its foundation is probably much older. Scenario of sieges and military operations in almost all the wars that involved this corner of Lombardy between the 15th and 18th centuries, the original quadrilateral fortifications were partially demolished after the unification of Italy, leaving the structure intact which still stands today. can observe.

A surprise, you have to have a bit of imagination to recreate it as it was, but Simone, the guide, was GREAT at taking us back in time. The adjacent theater is an enchanting wedding favor

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
