Main sights

The main attraction is the Palazzo Visconti, divided into a Palazzo Vecchio ("Old Palace") and a Palazzo Nuovo ("New Palace"). Originally a defensive castle known from the 10th century, it was rebuilt in the 13th to 17th centuries; it houses frescoes from the Galliari brothers, Mattia Bortoloni and Alessandro Magnasco. The Palazzo Vecchio was the birthplace of Francesco Bernardino Visconti, the Unnamed described by Italian author Alessandro Manzoni in The Betrothed.

The church of Sant'Andrea dates to the 11th century. It has a 15th-century entrance portico.
