Palazzo Borromeo, dating back to the early 15th century, belonged to one of the most significant families of Milan`s nobility. The Gothic courtyard in this palace is a notable feature. Ballrooms, stairways, extraordinary paintings by Tiepolo, Giordano and Carracci and underground quarters make the Palazzo Borromeo the magnificent structure it is. There is also a beautiful courtyard and enchanting frescoes depicting the games and other leisure activities of Lombard life in Renaissance times. Much of it however was damaged after the bombings in 1943 during the Second World War, but was subsequently restored. In fact in one of the chambers, Sala dei Giochi, there is a famous painting of the nobility playing games, in which the original colour of the painting has undergone a chemical reaction. The Palazzo Borromeo is indeed worth a visit.
