Located at the far end of the pedestrian zone of Chiavenna, One of the town's symbol. It was closed when we went there, not sure if it can be visited.

Chiavenna est une superbe petite ville au pied des Alpes et proche du lac de Come. Le centre ville est très sympathique et riche d un passé historique. J ai découvert le château du Conte Balbiani. Un ancêtre, mes arrières grand parents sont originaires de Bellano. Je remercie mes petits cousins de m avoir fait découvrir cette magnifique région. Et si vous avez des informations sur le Conte Balbiani. je suis très intéressée.

One of the symbols of Chiavenna, the palace was built and inhabited in the fourteenth century by the Counts Balbiani, who here in Chiavenna administered as feudal lords the territory on behalf of the Sforza of Milan. But of that time little remains, the palace was almost completely destroyed on two occasions, in the fifteenth century as a result of a violent battle, and then in 1640 by papal order. It was then rebuilt after becoming the property of the other powerful family present in Chiavenna, the Salis (of which a short distance exists The current beautiful "castle", arranged on 3 floors, with the two typical cylindrical columns on the sides, is the result of a complete renovation of 1930.

Nice building of the 15th century bought by the group Generali who made its offices. Nestled in the heart of a medieval village full of narrow streets where it is good to walk to admire the windows of small shops and other porches overlooking courtyards or interior gardens.
