Italy
Borromeo Castle is located in Peschiera Borromeo in the metropolitan city of Milan. It is a former fortified farmstead built by Vitaliano I Borromeo in the 15th century and restored to its current appearance in the late 16th century by Renato Borromeo, cousin of Cardinal Federico Borromeo. A distinctive feature of the castle is that the moat surrounding it is still filled with water.
