Staying in
Lombardy will mean access to many exciting historic venues for those who are interested. The region has many medieval remains and during the Middle Ages the region was also of great importance to this part of Europe.
The Lombards and the
Milanese, in particular, were often “prisoners" in the power struggles between the popes in
Rome and the changing German-Roman emperors. In fact
Milan was completely destroyed several times during the bloody battles of the Middle Ages.
