The tales of the jail
Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November 2025 - Sessions starting at 9 p.m. and 10.30 p.m.
The Visconti Fortress in Castell’Arquato was once used as a prison: the rooms that now house museum exhibits were originally cells where prisoners of war, disgraced nobles, harmless thieves driven by hunger and ruthless murderers thirsty for blood were locked up.
These walls have welcomed desperate souls and cursed stories, such as that of Sergio and Laura, who met a sad and grim fate inside the fortress, paying dearly for their love... In this special night-time guided tour, we will discover the troubled tales of the fortress narrated directly by the protagonists themselves, who will make an exceptional appearance in the rooms where they breathed their last breaths...
Duration: approximately 75 minutes.
Also suitable for children aged 12 and over.
Halloween-themed clothing welcome.

Sweet Halloween: Beware of the Wolf!
Saturday, 1 November 2025 - Sessions starting at 2.30 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Why is the wolf always so mean? Why is he always so hungry that he eats little pigs and girls in hoods? And anyway, which of the two does he prefer? You can ask these and any other questions that come to mind to the Wolf of the Castle, the guardian of the Visconti Fortress: this gruff character has stolen all the sweets because he doesn't want to see even a shadow of happy children. An exceptional investigator is on the trail of the crime, but he needs your help: are you ready to bring lost gummy joy back to the world?
Duration: approximately 60 minutes. Event designed for children aged 4 to 8.
Halloween-themed clothing is welcome.
