Seen from the outside it still retains all its charm, even if the structure is not complete. Inside he has completely lost his identity

Our castle contains within it the wonderful Gonzaga theater built in the second half of the nineteenth century and the ancient governor's palace, home of the ancient synagogue... come and visit us

The fortification of the area dates back to the early Middle Ages, while the presence of a castle is documented by written sources since the 14th century, even if its foundation is probably much older. Scenario of sieges and military operations in almost all the wars that involved this corner of Lombardy between the 15th and 18th centuries, the original quadrilateral fortifications were partially demolished after the unification of Italy, leaving the structure intact which still stands today. can observe.

A surprise, you have to have a bit of imagination to recreate it as it was, but Simone, the guide, was GREAT at taking us back in time. The adjacent theater is an enchanting wedding favor

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
