Villa Recalcati
Provincia di Varese - Piazza Libertà, 1 - Varese - Tel. 0332/252270
The 18th century Villa Recalcati, housing the headquarters of the Province of Varese, lies in one of the most beautiful areas of Varese, exactly in the area Casbeno, on the slopes descending towards the Lake. We do not have precise historical information on the period in which the villa was built and on the architect planning it. However, if we analyze the style of the building carefully, we can say that it was built in the 17th century and restructured in the second half of the 18th century.
