A medieval fortress that houses the fascinating 15th-century pictorial cycles of the Sala degli Svaghi and celebrates courtly pastimes in the Sala dei Vizi e delle Virtù.
But that's not all. A botanical garden, with no less than 103 different varieties of trees and shrubs, including beeches, horse chestnuts, oaks, hornbeams, cedars and majestic specimens of holm oaks and strawberry trees. The large lawn leading to the slopes of the hill on which the castle stands is the ideal place to stop under the shady foliage and read a book.
The Castle of Masnago is a medieval fortification transformed into a villa by the Castiglioni family and embellished with an important cycle of secular frescoes in the Gothic courtly style. Situated on a hill, in a dominant position, it is now owned by the municipality of Varese and houses the Museo Civico d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea.
