Visconti Castle - Civic Museums

Civic Museum housed in a massive palace with beautiful arches, high windows and painted ceilings. Walls of each room are differently painted. The collection is well curated. However, lighting at the paintings gallery and the overall maintenance of the building were not that great. Friendliness of the staff made up to it. There is lot to see and enjoy at a slow pace. Definitely worth the ticket price of €10. Tickets could be purchase from the reception counter.

A great museum set in a lush, green environment. The collection features several masterpieces and a significant array of Lombard artifacts. The serene setting and well-curated exhibits offer visitors a profound appreciation of historical and artistic treasures.

Visconti Castle is a nice place to go to spend maybe 2-3 hours in. Firstly the garden around the castle is very nice and serene (free to access), to enter the castle itself you need a ticket. The reason I gave this 4 stars is that the ticket is €10 per person which is not at all reasonable, and adding to that there is no discount for students (at least that’s what the lady said when we asked). The castle is a museum as well with nice and interesting pieces of history, including some ancient Egyptian artifacts (which caught me by surprise). The architecture of the castle itself is beautiful, it apparently has 4 floors but we could only access the ground and first floor (which has nothing but locked doors). On the ground floor you can enter the “museum” part of the castle. All in all a nice place to visit, but it felt kind of dead and boring sometimes. And I would not come here again simply because of the unreasonable price, only suitable for a one-time visit.

Super château ! Loved it

I didn’t spend much time here, so I don’t have detailed information about the place, but I really liked the architectural style it showcased.

Pavia. Beautiful castle with fantastic collection of medieval stone art and pretty decent painting gallery. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant museum - I got in free for being in my early 20's too. Very interesting mixture of historic architectural, artifact and artistic pieces. Definitely worth a visit, even just to see the castle and it's grounds.

Amazing place with a lot of beautiful trees and architecture is amazing. Must visit place.
