Visconti Castle
The Visconti Castle of Pavia is a 14th-century brick castle built after 1360 by Galeazzo II Visconti as a sovereign residence and administrative centre. It occupied a square plan with four large corner towers and extensive internal halls; many original frescoed rooms survive only in fragments, and the building today houses the Pavia Civic Museums after 20th-century restorations.

As it stood in 1365
The shape it held in its prime.
A vast square-plan red-brown brick palace with long, low curtain walls punctuated by regular arched and mullioned windows, and four massive square corner towers capped by steep hipped roofs and open arched top floors. A continuous crenellated cornice runs under the roofline; the structure stands on a raised scarp above a surrounding ditch/moat and is set against an extensive walled park. The internal faces open onto a colonnaded ground-floor portico and a first-floor loggiato with multi-light openings.
