Great historical palace, for the town and for the entire province of Vercelli, you should be a little 'more aware of' being Italian, and have an eye for Italians, and, for the exodates, have already lost a job, too, the house, No.

since 1926 the Court has its seat in Vercelli in the prestigious castle, built in 1290, perhaps on pre-existing ruins, by Matteo Visconti. The current structure still retains, despite rebuilding due to Savoy and subsequent more recent restorations, the original quadrangular layout, with square towers at the corners. The north-east tower stood on the line of the city walls and the outermost south-east one probably served to connecting the castle to the small triangular space existing between the city walls and the structure Along the eastern side there was also a low tower, now no longer existing, but visible in the 16th century marquetry of the wooden choir of S. Andrea, built after 1511, in which the castle of Vercelli is somewhat realistic, seen from the eastern side. The fidelity of the design confirms the presence of a double curtain between the two towers of Levante The interest of the Visconti castle of Vercelli, also in reference to the history of the city, is still remarkable and the archaeological finds of the last century in the moat to the north allow us to hypothesize the actual presence in the area of notable ancient remains, perhaps even linked to the domus of S. Stefano.
