Beautiful and historical and always the social center. There is always something going on there. There was a car show there when we were there. All kinds of restaurants from high end to snacks and just coffee, even fast food. And surrounding the Ducale are streets filled with shops and even more great restaurants.

Nel 1494 Ludovico Maria Sforza detto il Moro offrì a Beatrice D’Este sua sposa un dono assai particolare: il Mulino di Mora Bassa di Vigevano.Nel manoscritto H di Leonardo Da Vinci, dedicato prevalentemente allo studio dell’acqua, il nome di Vigevano compare più volte. Per esempio gli appunti riguardano una «mulina da Vigevine». Al mulino il visitatore si trova immerso in un suggestivo luogo ricco di interessanti richiami di storia e leggenda: il Duca Ludovico detto il Moro incontrava, lontano dalla corte ducale, la giovane dama Cecilia Gallerani, modella di Leonardo Da Vinci per il famoso dipinto “La dama con l’ermellino”. All’interno del mulino LA CITTA’ IDEALE ha allestito una esposizione permanente di MACCHINE funzionanti DI LEONARDO DA VINCI grazie a Dario Noè che con lo studio dei disegni dei manoscritti, sapienza artigianale, ingegno e passione ha costruito circa 50 macchine e ancora ne sta realizzando. L’esposizione concede al visitatore l’ opportunità non solo

This tower with its shape is the landmark of Vigevano and is the gate to the castle. It can be climbed for a small fee and you can get the best view of the city and surrounding area.

This is in walking distance from The Last Supper, I spent my time here as I waited for my entry. The grounds are beautiful and there are a number of museums & displays throughout and many have nothing to do with the castle itself or the family. There is a nominal fee for a guided audio tour of the grounds and it was worth it, for me. The entrance fee gives you access to a number of museums Egyptian, Swords, Musical instruments, Ceramics ... choose the subjects that appeals to you because you may not get through them all. There is a nice little cafe to eat on the grounds and the prices are affordable. There are beautiful gardens and a number of castle cats that roam around.
