Castle Itinerary
Known to the locals as Castellaccio, the Castle of Santa Maria is one of the symbolic places of Tirano’s urban history. Built by the will of Ludovico il Moro as part of the city’s defensive system, it has played a more civil than military role over time, influencing the development of the village until the 19th century.
