Dressed in our beautiful handmade period costumes, you will embark on a journey through the rooms of the Castle to fully immerse yourselves in the true life of a 15th-century court.

Women, Loves and Lovers
An exclusive tour dedicated to the female world of the Castle of Malpaga—a castle truly inhabited by women, considering that Bartolomeo Colleoni had eight daughters, all female, six of whom were illegitimate.
This is a setting where the condition of women was beginning to evolve positively after centuries of oppression: an era of courtesans, witches, poetesses, queens and wives who boldly claimed their role in society. The tour offers a glimpse into the status of women between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, courtly love, the rituals of courtship and marriage, love potions, intrigues and secret affairs.
The visit begins with all participants being dressed in our beautiful handmade period costumes and ends with medieval group dances in the Grand Banqueting Hall.
Duration: 2 hours
Bachelor Party
An exciting activity that allows you to experience simulated challenges inside a real castle, using completely harmless replicas of historical weapons.
Participants will be able to put themselves to the test and develop their strategic and tactical skills in the evocative historical setting of the 14th-century moat. They will experience firsthand the charm of ancient combat techniques, making the day truly memorable and full of adventure.
