Castello di Vigevano & Piazza Ducale
Lombardy
Vigevano's castle, once a Sforza residence with input from Leonardo da Vinci on its stables, connects via an elevated covered walkway — the Ponte Coperto — directly to the porticoed Piazza Ducale below. Walking the bridge gives a rare elevated view straight down onto the Renaissance square.
