Palazzo - Edificio in Mortara

Mortara sits in the Lomellina plain, a flat agricultural area between the Ticino and Sesia rivers with extensive rice fields and irrigation canals. The nearest larger town is Vigevano, which has a substantial historic centre focused on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. Pavia is also within ordinary driving distance for services and rail links. This area is known for rice cultivation and for goose-based food traditions of the Lomellina.
