Discover the secrets of Belgioioso Castle: guided tours and candlelight concert
The Castello di Belgioioso, a historical gem set in the heart of the province of Pavia, not so far from our AN Hotel Melegnano, opens its doors for two exclusive events that promise to transport visitors on a journey through time, under the banner of culture and music.
Guided tours of Belgioioso Castle
A journey through history
On May 18th and 25th 2024, the Castello di Belgioioso will become the stage for a unique experience: guided tours will explore the most fascinating and least known corners of this historic monument. From the rooms that have hosted nobles and dukes, such as the Visconti and Sforza families, to the medieval courtyards, participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the history, architecture and secret stories that have made the castle famous.
The Architecture of the castle
The guided tour will take you through the elegant 18th-century atrium, up the grand staircase to the piano nobile, where you will be able to admire the Salone degli Stucchi and the Ballroom, with a view of the park below. Special attention will be paid to the architecture of the castle, which reflects the various eras of its long history.
Candlelight concert
On the evening of May 18th, the Belgioioso Castle will offer a magical and unforgettable experience: a harp concert by candlelight. The enchanting melodies, performed in two shifts, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., will create a dreamlike atmosphere, enhanced by the soft light of the candles that will illuminate the historic ballroom.
The importance of valorising the local area
These events, organised in cooperation with Lombardia Segreta, provide a deeper insight into the cultural and historical heritage of Lombardy. Through events such as guided tours of the Belgioioso Castle and exclusive concerts, everyone is given the opportunity to access unique cultural experiences, making places of extraordinary beauty and historical importance accessible to the public.
The Historical Park of the Castello di Belgioioso is reborn
The Belgioioso Castle, an architectural masterpiece from the 14th century, recently reopened its magnificent park after meticulous restoration. This intervention, financed by the Next Generation EU programme, brought back the beauty of its green architecture and historical sculptures, including the famous fountain of Neptune and Thetis. The project involved all the outdoor spaces of the park, which covers over 55,000 square metres, and included the restoration of the monumental theatre and ancient gates, once hidden by vegetation. In addition, three historical fountains, buried in 1830, were reactivated, adding a touch of vitality to the landscape. This restoration not only enhances the historical heritage, but is also an example of how culture and innovation can go hand in hand to promote sustainable tourism.
