Of great value is a vestment embroidered with gold threads, by Napoleon Bonaparte, who wore it in 1805, during his coronation as King of Italy.

Built in 1382 by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, the Visconti castle was built in Renaissance style and more than a medieval fortress, it looked like a summer residence. During the 15th century until 1635 the castle played a primary role in the political life of the Duchy of Milan. In 1865 the castle was donated to citizenship and was used as a venue for various associations in the territory. In 1995, after having completely restored it, the “Romeo Brambilla” civic library was inaugurated. The interior frescoes originate from different eras.
