What to expect

The Sforza Castle is a medieval fortification located in Milan, northern Italy. It was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remnants of a 14th-century fortification. The castle has been renovated and enlarged over the centuries and now houses several of the city's museums and art collections. It features a square-plan castle with 200 m-long sides, four towers at the corners, and up to 7-metre-thick walls. The castle has undergone several transformations, including the addition of a hexagonal star fort with 12 bastions. Visitors can explore the castle's historic architecture, art collections, and exhibits, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
