Pavia boasts a rich history and numerous structures scattered all over its territory. One of the most famous castles in Lombardy is undoubtedly the Visconti Castle. It was built by the Duke of Milan Gian Galeazzo II with a protective ditch around it. Nowadays it hosts museums and splendid halls decorated with artwork by Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante.
