A very pretty square in the heart of Vigevano! It is very calm and was designed by Leonardo da Vinci! Very historic too!

Even when we visited Vigevano in one of late September afternoons the piazza was almost deserted. It seemd that people were still on holiday and most shops were closed. It had a very calm and peaceful vibes to the town. Had a quiet stroll around the Piazza and had snacks and coffee. We enjoyed the couple of hours we had there a lot.

A few years ago I read somewhere that this was one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The numerous photos by pros and tourists testify it. Being born in Piedmont, I used to visit this quaint town quite often, appreciating its medieval cobblestone alleys, to reach the piazza Ducale and enjoy an excellent ice cream. A lot has changed, nothing stays forever, but the square has maintained its grandeur. The historical shops have disappeared in favor of expensive eateries with rude and hasty service, aiming only at you spending $ on mediocre food and drinks. Head towards the hidden, narrow streets that surround it and you’ll find small pubs and food joints with courteous and amicable service and decent prices. By the way, DO visit the Sforza castle, it’s a true medieval gem with frescos, ancient and secret gardens and horse stables. It’ll satisfy your cravings for history and well kept ancient artifacts

It is an incredible city😍 because it is full of monuments and place to eat and sit having the Ducale square view. It is very recommended to come at least one time.

One of a top place in Europa, beautiful and spectacular. You can feel the history of the place. As the city put a lot of descriptions and some guide everywhere.

Just wow - what a nice place. So many nice historical details. And not so crowded.

One of many beautiful bridges I have seen in my life, but definitely not overrated. Very stunning! It's also called bridge of sighs and has an really interesting history, which is worth a google. I'm not too sure if you can actually walk over it but you dmcould view it from afar as see in the pictures or take a ride in a gondola and float along the waterways.

A stunning Cathedral in the heart of Vigevano! Very beautiful interiors and exteriors - an architectural masterpiece!

Love Vigevano cathedral 😍, the paintings and architecture are stunning.!

This cathedral is the symbol of a very famous attraction in Vigevano, Piazza Ducale. A beautiful must-to-see when exploring the area.

Lovely little town. Only the town centre is interesting. When I visited there was a chocolate festival. Mmmm yummy.

Beautiful church

Surprising and richly decorated church

Impressive

Beautiful place to visit

It's lovely

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and evocative, it takes you back in time to the medieval period and on two floors it connected the old fortress to the castle (Original) Molto bella e suggestiva si ritorna indietro nel tempo al periodo medievale e su due piani e collegava la rocca vecchia al castello

(Translated by Google) One of a kind in Europe, it has gigantic proportions, it is 167 meters long and 7 meters wide, exceeding a height difference of 10 meters between the Maschio del Castello and the place where the Rocca Vecchia stood. It was built in 1347 by Luchino Visconti to allow the lords of Milan to escape in case of danger. (Original) Unica nel suo genere in Europa ha proporzioni gigantesche, è lunga 167 metri e larga 7, supera un disdivello di 10 metri fra il Maschio del Castello e il luogo in cui sorgeva la Rocca Vecchia. Fu realizzata nel 1347 da Luchino Visconti per consentire ai signori di Milano di fuggire in caso di pericolo.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular. One of a kind in all of Europe. This is a covered walkway 167 meters long. and 7 meters wide. and overcomes a difference in height of over 10 metres. used to access the castle in complete anonymity. It connected the castle to the old fortress. It was also used to evacuate quickly in the event of an attack. The remaining frescoes are beautiful. The rings on the wall for tying the horses are still present. Also used in wartime for the transit of military vehicles. Today it is in good condition and has probably suffered more damage from vandals than time. For a detailed description of its history, please refer to other links. Also interesting is the underground passage which is located on the right of the entrance heading towards the castle, there are 2 drinking troughs for the horses. (Original) Spettacolare. Unica nel suo genere in tutta Europa. Trattasi di un camminamento coperto lungo 167 mt. e largo 7 mt. e supera un dislivello di oltre 10 mt. usato per accedere al castello in tutto anonimato. Collegava il castello alla vecchia rocca. Serviva anche in caso di attacco per evacuare rapidamente. Belli gli affreschi rimasti. Ancora presenti gli anelli al muro per legare i cavalli. Utilizzata anche in tempo di guerra per il transito di mezzi militari. Oggi si presenta in buone condizioni di conservazione, probabilmente ha subito più danni da parte dei vandali che del tempo. Per la descrizione dettagliata della sua storia rimando ad altri link. Interessante anche in passaggio sotterraneo che si trova sulla destra dell'ingresso dirigendosi verso il castello, presenti 2 abbeveratoi per i cavalli.

(Translated by Google) You can't miss it. There is nothing beautiful about the truth but it must be seen for what it was and represents, and then in just 10 minutes you can see both the covered one and the underground one. Useful for taking 2 photos (Original) Non la si può perdere. Di bello non ha nulla la verità ma va vista per quello che era e rappresenta,e poi in 10 min scarsi si può vedere si quella coperta che che quella sotterranea. Utile per fare 2 foto

(Translated by Google) It is a unique structure in Europe. It is a fortified road built on 2 levels (one partially underground) which connected the Rocca Vecchia with the current Castle. The upper floor connects the courtyard of the Castle and passing over 2 towers, comes out in the courtyard of the Rocca Vecchia, while the lower one has its entrance for the public in the entrance hall of the tower called in the city as "Il Portone" (near Piazza Ducale) and always ends in the courtyard of the Rocca Vecchia. It dates back to 1300 and is approximately 167 meters long. Very suggestive, sometimes used for exhibitions and events. (Original) È una struttura unica in Europa. Si tratta di una strada fortificata costruita su 2 livelli ( uno parzialmente sotterraneo) che collegava la Rocca Vecchia con l'attuale Castello. Il piano superiore collega il cortile del Castello e passando sopra 2 torri, sbuca nel cortile della Rocca Vecchia, mentre quello inferiore, ha il suo ingresso per il pubblico nell'androne della torre denominata in città come " Il Portone"( nei pressi di Piazza Ducale )e termina sempre nel cortile della Rocca Vecchia. Risale al 1300 ed è lunga circa 167 metri. Molto suggestiva , usata a volte per esposizioni ed eventi.

Such Beautiful Milano’s History! The castle is magic, and the space inside so good to walk around. Milan is always Milan!

Historical place with a sign of Leonardo da Vinci. Interesting museums, Piazza Ducale, cozy restaurants.

Great starters and pizza, good wine and beer. Beautiful evening setting in the central plaza with lots of activity. Eat some great food and watch the locals passing by.

A great experince dining in the castle

VIGEVANO BIENNALE 2024 furst edition from the 8fh of APRIL to the 31st of MAY 2024 COSMIC SPACE STRASHIP3535 AVVENIRISMO3535 - MAKING LIFE AN ART

Very strange place, it has a good potential as a touristic place but they didn't invest and prepare enough what they have. (1) missing smiles to visitors (2) include explanations for each picture (more than just the time when Leonardo did it) (3) include English as well (everything was only in Italian (4) video Exposition requires more bright or less illumination, it was impossible to watch anything. (5) it was no explanation of the constructions prototypes at all (6) maintenance in general in the castle was veeeeery poor... Missing restores of painted walls, everything was practically in nude bricks (what it was not the original shape of the castle) It's a pity because the place can be really a nice touristic place helping to increase the economy of the village.

Great pizza, not big but very varied, interestingly mixed, tasty. Very friendly, helpful staff. Not too much place inside but thanks to that more cosy. Near to Pallazo Sforza and Piazza Ducale. Could be problem with parking but not more than in other Italian old towns.

WOW

Beautiful!!!

(Translated by Google) I followed a beautiful musical initiative in the so-called "ridotto" of the Cagnoni, which is a beautiful space located outside the theater stalls and located on a mezzanine floor. We need to keep an eye on the cultural and musical initiatives put in place by the Municipality and also available online because they are often created precisely in this space. Unfortunately, as the space is small, there are few seats but it's really worth it!!! (Original) Ho seguito una bellissima iniziativa musicale nel cosiddetto "ridotto" del Cagnoni, che è un bellissimo spazio situato al di fuori della platea del teatro e collocato su un piano rialzato. Bisogna tenere d'occhio le iniziative di carattere culturale e musicale messe in campo dal Comune e disponibili anche online perché spesso vengono realizzate proprio in questo spazio. Purtroppo essendo piccolo lo spazio, ci sono pochi posti a sedere ma ne vale veramente la pena!!!

(Translated by Google) Splendid theater that best illustrates 19th century architecture. Handled with great care in front and behind the scenes. (Original) Splendido teatro che racconta al meglio l’architettura del XIX secolo. Gestito con grande cura davanti e dietro le quinte.

(Translated by Google) Recently renovated, very nice. A small jewel theater in the city of Vigevano. During the year they have a nice offer of theater shows and events. It is also used by schools for plays and end-of-year events. A negative note is the parking, not much near the entrance. But 4 steps can be taken being near the beautiful Piazza Ducale. (Original) Ristrutturato da poco ,molto carino.un piccolo teatro gioiello della città di vigevano.durante l'anno hanno una bella offerta di spettacoli teatrali,ed eventi.viene utilizzato anche per dalle scuole per recite ed eventi di fine anno.nota negativa i parcheggi,pochi nei pressi dell'ingresso.ma 4 passi si possono fare essendo nei pressi della bellissima piazza ducale.

(Translated by Google) Very well kept little theatre! (Original) Piccolo teatro molto ben tenuto !

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful historic theater with an audience and tier of boxes built in 1873 and inaugurated on 13 October of that year for the performance of operas. Currently the capacity is reduced from 620 due to distancing requirements. (Original) È un bellissimo teatro storico con platea e ordine di palchi costruito nel 1873 e inaugurato il 13 ottobre di quell'anno per la rappresentazione di opere attualmente la capienza è ridotta da 620 per esigenze di distanziamento.

Food quality: Normal Serving time: Two or three eternities Behaviour: Let’s not talk about it

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing people. As non-italian speaking people we were assisted with ordering and even Italian traditions, and even a parting gift from the owner himself.

Yh put in the inter rater chi the es iiviuiiiiiooosooooooooooopoooooee yuszg

High quality service and extraordinary delicious food.

Very GOOD

TOP !!

Great food, the service was nice and friendly however a bit slow. We had the goose cold meat platter as a starter and the saffron risotto with rabbit sausage for the main course. Both were absolutely delicious. The dessert was good but not memorable. Will gladly go back there.

Local, seasonal dishes elevated in style and paired with excellent wines. Competent and friendly staff, you can never go wrong coming here. There are some signature dishes like the slowcooked goose leg and goose charcuterie, typical of the region, that cannot be missed. My hubby had the "leg", this time I opted for a fritto misto - a mix of deep fried vegetables and meat cuts, with different batters, all where crisp and delicious. The selected cure meats were served with a crunchy gnocco fritto, and the vitello tonnato was as good as beautiful. Sweet end with peaches in sweet wine, and sorbet.

Fantastic meal with wonderful and kind service. Now one of my favorites in Vigevano

This hidden gem is a delight. I've visited twice, and each time, my order was a pleasure. The menu features a curated selection that reflects the owner's confidence—a sign you're dining in an exceptional restaurant.

Terrible food just thrown on the plate with brown cheep wrapping paper underneath. Food was served just warm, and one person at our table got served the main meal when all four of us finished ours. When waiters were reminded about the missing plate of food, the passing ones just nodded in response. Ignorance from staff throughout the whole restaurant, including the owner. I very strongly do not recommend this eating place ( can't call it restaurant) and will ask a hotel staff to exclude it from recomended ones.

Had the most delicious meal here last night! Staff were extremely friendly despite my lack of Italian, and so helpful. Had the most delicious confit goose leg with potatoes, and was given a small starter of the most amazing goose pate and salami (I wasn’t hungry enough for the full starter). Such a treat :) thank you!

Great place to eat goose, if you are in Vigevano I highly recommend, this was my second time and definitely I will return next time I'm in town 🤙🤙🤙

It's my new favorite restaurant!!! Even an ordinary pasta dish becomes a classic in the hands of these masters! Edit: I'm lucky enough to be here again! Still great!!

Fantastic restaurant with more than delicious food. Great atmosphere and "simpatico" Staff. Great taste od every dish. Tiramisu the best of All over the world! Calnelloni like from Mamma!

Great restaurant with great seafood options in the beautiful Piazza Ducale!

Best seafood in the world!

we had lunch here in 2013 the meal was beautiful , one of the great memories from our trip. Via Bainsizza, 28 - 21049 TRADATE (VA) Italy We returned in 2016 and found they had moved around the corner. Rococo is still fantastic place to enjoy great meal a must visit.

The best food I’ve had in the city! Friendly staff and good prices

The piazza itself is arguably the most beautiful in Italy. Think about Leonardo da Vinci working in Ludovico Sforza’s birthplace on numerous occasions. There are not many places in Vigevano to eat. The two places on the piazza were outstanding. It really was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The atmosphere made the exceptional food even better. I could hear other people commenting on their experience in different languages. I wish I could be there now.

They’ve got an interesting bronzing trick which makes their dishes unique, but it’s a little overdone. Service was great, and this is certainly not a touristy spot... we enjoyed the lunch stop while visiting the Moreschi factory. Food is good, service is better and ambiance is excellent.

Good tasty food. Octopus was excellent! It was very crowded but no complaints for the rest. Thank you!

Beautiful place, Great menu, good ambiance! Plates are pieces of art and so special ! The dessert, mama mia !

The food in this place is simply delicious. I spent two days in Vigevano and ate twice here. We tried at least 10 different dishes and each one was cooked to perfection. Staff is very nice, my daughter was being a bit grumpy and they helped out a lot. We had a bottle of bonarda which was very good. 2 courses, dessert and wine costs around 25 pound which is an excellent price for such a delicious meal!

Excellent food and lovely staff

Fantastic food at this modem restaurant. They do have a garden in the back which is really nice. The food was absolutely delicious and a bit different than the standard Italian fare. Good service as well.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! I don’t mean the best in Vigevano, I mean this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been in my life! Congrats to the chef, so kind and extremely talented. I love this place!
