You're standing at the Castello Visconteo, the castle of the Visconti family in Pavia. First, take in the sheer size of it. Originally it formed a square with sides of 142 metres, with a square tower 43 metres tall at every corner. A moat ran all around it. The poet Petrarch visited in 1365 and called it an enormous palace, truly remarkable and costly.
