Bereguardo, it is a little suburb in the middle of the Parco del Ticino's
woods. Since the Middle Ages it was really very important for its 
strategic position, in defence of the Ticino's bridge and the cultivated 
land that spread towards Milano and Pavia. It was Luchino Visconti, 
which wanted to extend and fortify the castle between the 1292 and 
the 1349. After in 1386 Gian Galeazzo Visconti adopted it as a hunting 
domicile. In 1400 it became Sforza propriety, and they pulled down the 
bridge, replacing it with a pontoon bridge, that in case of assault would
be removed, leaving to the river with its strong streams the purpose to 
oppose all the invasion attempt.
