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.

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.

Definitely a must see in Vigevano. One of the most beautiful Squares in italy Really beautiful.

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

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.

(Translated by Google) We stayed here about ten days, in the "Girasole" room. The purpose of the trip was my sister's hospitalization at Beato Matteo. When we arrived at the B&B La Torre del Bramante we were more than well welcomed. The clean and scented room with bathroom and small entrance, TV and kettle for tea and infusions, the common areas for cooking and eating meals... well, what can I say? We hope to be able to return as soon as possible for a purely pleasure trip! P.s. four-legged friends are welcome here; furthermore, from the b&b it is very easy to reach Piazza Ducale and the characteristic historic center of Vigevano. (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato qui circa dieci giorni, nella stanza del "Girasole". Lo scopo del viaggio è stata la degenza di mia sorella al Beato Matteo. Quando siamo arrivate nella struttura del B&b la torre del Bramante siamo stata più che bene accolte. La camera linda e profumata con bagno e piccolo ingresso, tv e bollitore per the ed infusi, gli spazi comune per la cottura e la consumazione dei pasti .. insomma, che dire? Speriamo di poterci ritornare quanto prima per un viaggio di solo piacere! P.s. gli amici a quattro zampe qui sono i benvenuti; inoltre dal b&b è facilissimo raggiungere piazza Ducale ed il caratteristico centro storico di Vigevano.

(Translated by Google) Excellent value for money, the b&b is located in a very quiet place, and nearby you can find everything for any type of need. Very clean venue. Friendly and helpful staff. Furthermore, the Nuova Clinica Vigevanese is located 2km from the accommodation. Flaw: poor wi-fi reception; absence of stoves (replaced by microwave-grills). (Original) Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, il b&b è situato in un luogo molto tranquillo, e nelle vicinanze si trova di tutto per qualsiasi tipo di esigenza. Sede molto pulita. Personale cordiale e disponibile. Inoltre a 2km dall'allogio è situata la Nuova Clinica Vigevanese. Pecca: scarsa ricezione wi-fi; assenza di fornelli ( sostituiti da microonde-grill).

(Translated by Google) Excellent welcoming b&b, fantastic cleanliness, very kind people, I would recommend it to other people. P.S I wanted to tell the owner the Wi-Fi password would be better left attached behind the entrance door (Original) Ottimo b&b accogliente pulizia fantastica persone gentilissima consiglio ad altre persone. P.S volevo dire alla titolare la password della Wi-Fi sarebbe meglio lasciarlo attaccato dietro la porta di ingresso

(Translated by Google) Excellent clean, comfortable B&B...with the train a stone's throw from Millano, with affordable prices. Very recommended. (Original) Ottimo B&B pulito confortevole..con il treno a due passi da Millano, con prezzi abbordabili. Molto consigliato.

(Translated by Google) Excellent room presentation... wonderful warm and welcoming cleanliness. .ok... I took the triple room....breakfast ok.... congratulations to Mrs Marinella (Original) Ottima presentazione camera...stupenda calda e accogliente pulizia. .ok... ho preso la tripla....colazione ok.... complimenti alla sig.ra Marinella

(Translated by Google) Absolutely exquisite people. Clean rooms with every comfort. 5 stars well deserved. Thank you (Original) Persone assolutamente squisite. Stanze pulite con ogni comfort. 5 stelle meritatissime. Grazie

(Translated by Google) Excellent b&b and very friendly hosts! (Original) Ottimo b&b e gestori molto simpatici!

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.

Very old place. Water was very dirty. Didn't want to get in the water

This place is good for playing in Leisure Time 🙂

Dirty water in the pool!

Perfect place for children

(Translated by Google) Old and extremely neglected facility. Dirty bathrooms, cigarette butts everywhere, rude staff, and truly dirty pool water. Only two of the five slides work. I think it's one of the most squalid pools I've ever seen. (Original) Struttura vecchia e trascuratissima, Bagni sporchi, mozziconi di sigaretta ovunque, personale scortese, acqua della piscina veramente sporca. Su 5 scivoli ne funzionano solo 2. Penso sia una delle piscine più squallide che abbia mai visto .

(Translated by Google) It's incredibly sad to see this center dying year after year... practically no one goes there anymore, the atmosphere is depressing, but above all, the water is extremely dirty and murky... In particular, the children's pool was completely green, and after asking the management for an explanation, they insisted, shocked and rude, that that color was normal. I don't understand how parents let their children go in that water. (Original) è tristissimo vedere come questo centro stia morendo anno dopo anno… non ci va praticamente più nessuno, atmosfera deprimente ma soprattutto acqua sporchissima e torbida… In particolare la vasca dei bambini che si presentava completamente verde, e dopo aver chiesto spiegazioni alla direzione hanno insistito in maniera esterrefatta e sgarbata che era normale quel colore. Non capisco come i genitori lasciassero i loro figli ad entrare in quell’acqua.

(Translated by Google) I've never seen anything like this: the water is always dirty, the pool is closed, the slides are unusable, the kids poop in the water and no one does anything, the ticks in the water are truly disgusting. If you have €10 to spend, give it to Caritas, but not to them. They don't even deserve to be called a sports center, a swimming center. I've never seen anything like this. Guys, if you read this review, trust me. Don't go there for anyone. There's no reason in the world. The owner is rude, you can definitely catch all kinds of diseases. People who go into the water fully clothed are truly disgusting. (Original) Uno schifo così non l’avevo mai visto acqua sempre sporca verde piscina chiusa scivoli che non si possono usare bimbi che defecano nell’acqua e nessuno fa niente zecche nell’acqua un vero schifo totale se avete 10 € da spendere dateli alla Caritas, ma non a loro non meritano nemmeno di essere chiamato centro sportivo centro per nuoto, uno schifo totale così non l’avevo mai visto ragazzi se leggete questa recensione, fidatevi Non ci andate per nessuno. Motivo al mondo. La proprietaria è maleducata si possono prendere sicuramente tutte le malattie, gente che va vestita nell’acqua, uno schifo unico.

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
